Incredible! Not only is it the 46th anniversary of the Apollo 15 landing but also...
...the landing site is on the Terminator and...
...the photo was taken at more or less the same time!
It took three and a half days to reach the Moon's orbit.
It was half a day quicker on the way back!
It was recovered by USS Okinawa which not only served in the evacuation of Saigon, the Iranian hostage crises and the Gulf war, but also recovered Apollo 6!
Distance 248,395 miles.
First quarter phase.
140 degrees SE compass point.
