Orbital photo taken with low sun angle hence the long shadows bringing out the terrain. Can't find out much more about it.

This entire magazine is just a 700 frame glorious pan over left to pass over Earth. This one is from early on as the planet is entering the frame.

It's the moon. The whole magazine contains excellent photos of the moon, probably part of the lunar observation experiments. I think it was taken from the CM since one photo caught a window frame.

Remarkable resemblance to the Barringer crater in Arizona, right down to the access road zigzagging down to the mining operation.

That must be the same window frame they used as a cropping mask in the Earth shot above to make it look like they're not in Earth orbit. :wink:

Great shots. Good to see they're being digitized and preserved.

I'm not sure Phil wants us taking up too much space with these images (as cool as they are). I just edited my above post to replace the image with a link.

Maybe I'm just living in the last century to even worry about bandwidth & harddrive space. Is this a problem any more?

As long as the images are hosted somewhere else, bandwidth doesn't matter. What does matter is loading times for dial up dudes. If you have a lot of images on one page, naturally it will take longer to load the page. These aren't huge though so I wouldn't think it's a problem. Besides, these are great shots and well worth the wait if you are a dial up dude.

Great shots, very nice. I'd love to see them in person one day.

During LEVA on Apollo 15. The GET is around 147:19 and Jim Irwin is documenting the solar wind composition experiment. The ALSEP can be seen in the distance behind and Dave Scott is driving to it in the LRV. The zero phase effects is noticeable in this down-sun photo.

This is part of a beautiful scroll across the lunar surface. Can't find much else about it.

Taken by Charlie Duke during EVA-2. This was part of the pan at station 5. This photo shows the LRV after John Young decided to move it by lifting it from its position hince the classic rover tracks argument. Up-sun it looks cool. The film type is 3401 BTW (they've added more detail to LPI =D> ).

Anyone else think it's Tsiokolvsky?

I think it's Mare Undarum. Compare the image with the left side of this image or this map. I think the large crater at the left edge is Firmicus.
