The Apollo 16 astronauts captured this Earth rise scene with a handheld
Hasselblad camera during the second revolution of the Moon. Identifiable
craters seen on the moon include Saha, Wyld, and Saenger. Much of the
terrainseen here is never visible from the Earth, as the Command
Module
was justpassing into what is known as the dark side or far side
of the Moon.
