[Lunar Orbiter V] WIDE-ANGLE VIEW OF THE MOON'S FARSIDE

NASA, August 1967

Printed 1966.

Vintage gelatin silver print on fibre-based paper [NASA image V-103M].
Numbered and captioned in black in the lower margin (issued by NASA Langley, Research Centre, Hampton, Virginia.)

25.4 x 20.3 cm. (10 x 8 in.)

Historical context
The Lunar Orbiters featured an ingenious imaging system consisting of a dual-lens camera, a film processing unit, a readout scanner, and a film handling apparatus. The film was developed onboard, scanned, and transmitted back to Earth framelet by framelet for reassembly. This image, with its stunning abstract beauty, reveals the daunting and rugged far side of the Moon.

Footnotes
