Title: Apollo 10 northwestward view of Triesnecker crater
Description:
An Apollo 10 northwestward oblique view of Triesnecker crater, centered
near 3.6 degrees east longitude, and 4 degrees north latitude. This
picture, taken from the Command and Servic Modules, shows terrain features
typical of northeastern Central bay. Beyond the highlands, the smooth
floor of the Sea of Vapors extends almost to the horizon some 600
kilometers (375 statute miles) from the spacecraft. Triesnecker crater,
about 27 kilometers (17 statute miles) in diameter, was 135 kilometers (85
statute miles) northwest of Apollo 10 when the picture was taken. The
intersecting linear features to the right of Triesnecker crater are the
Triesnecker Rilles.
