Title: Apollo 10 Command/Service Modules seen from Lunar Module after separation
Description:
The Apollo 10 Command and Service Modules (CSM) are photographed from the 
Lunar Module (LM) after CSM/LM separation in lunar orbit. The CSM was about 
175 statute miles east of Smyth's Sea and was above the rough terrain which 
is typical of the lunar farside. The eastward oblique view of the lunar 
surface is centered near 105 degrees east longitude and 1 degree north 
latitude. The horizon is approximately 600 kilometers (374 statute miles) 
away. Numerous bright craters and the absence of shadows show that the sun 
was almost directly overhead when this photograph was taken.
