Eugene Cernan, John Young or Thomas Stafford A group of six photographs, taken from lunar orbit. 1) Sea of Tranquillity (Landing Site 2) (AS10-30-4441) 2)Bright Copernican crater with extensive ray system (crater no 199) (AS10-30-4372) 3) Unusual surface configurations near crater 206 (AS10-30-4365) 4) Crater 302 and 305 near Sinus Medii (AS10-33-4964) 5) Hyginus Rille (AS10-31-4651) 6) Rhaetigus (AS10-33-4949) 18-26 May 1969 Six vintage gelatin print on fibre-based paper, 25.4 x 20.5 cm (8 x 10 in), all BLACK NUMBERED with NASA reference numbers in upper margin Footnotes: Six very rare photographs from magazine 30/Q, 31/R and 33/T showing an area near King and Ostwald craters; a bright impact crater near Sanger; the southern Sea of Tranquillity; Hyginus Rille at the terminator; sunrise over Crater Rhaeticus; lunar horizon over crater Keeler. Apollo 11's trajectory would be virtually identical to that flown by Apollo 10, and these photographs facilitated the identification of key landmarks that paved the way for Apollo 11's moon landing. The crew sent back descriptions of a surface they found to be 'pretty smooth, like wet clay.'
