Photo Description

APOLLO 10 VIEW OF MOON. An Apollo 10 westward view across Apollo Landing Site 3 in the Central Bay.

Bruce, the prominent crater near the bottom of the scene, is about six kilometers (3.7 statute miles) in diameter. Topographic features on the surface of the Central Bay are accentuated by the low sun angle. Sun angles range from near six degrees at the bottom of the photograph to less than one degree at the top of the photograph.
