Title: Apollo 10 photograph shows Sea of Tranquility near Apollo Landing Site 2
Description:
This near vertical photograph taken from the Apollo 10 Command and Service 
Modules shows features typical of the Sea of Tranquility near Apollo
Landing  Site 2. The proposed landing area for Apollo 11 (Lunar Landing
Site 2) is a  relatively smooth maria area in the upper right quadrant of
the photographed  area. The prominent linear feature at left is Hypatia
Rille (called "U.S. 1"  by the Apollo 10 crew). The prominent crater
centered in Hypatia Rille at top  left is Moltke AC (code name "Chuck
Hole"). Moltke, the prominent crater to  the right of Hypatia Rille, is
centered near 24.2 degrees east longitude, and  0.6 degrees south latitude.
