This outstanding view of a near full moon was photographed from the apollo 13 spacecraft during its trans-earth journey homeward. Though the explosion of the oxygen tank in the service module (sm) forced the cancellation of the scheduled lunar landing, apollo 13 made a pass around the moon prior to returning to earth. Some of the conspicuous lunar features include the sea of crisis, the sea of fertility, the sea of tranquility, the sea of serenity, the sea of nectar, the sea of vapors, the border sea, smyth's sea, the crater langrenus, and the crater tsiolkovsky.
