English: Cratered terrain on the far side of the moon. Apollo 16 mapping camera. This photo is used in Figure 4-7 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption: Rugged far-side terrain exhibits a wide dynamic range from black shadows to bright, Sun-facing slopes when illuminated by a low Sun. This mapping-camera frame, centered between the Craters Zhukovsky and Stein near latitude 8.6 ° N, longitude 175.9 ° W, was exposed before the first rest period in lunar orbit. The sunset terminator crossed this area before the next scheduled period of camera operation. North is at the top of the frame, which is alined within 10° of the selenographic grid.
