Title: View of near full Moon photographed by Apollo 13 during transearth journey
Description:
This view of a near full Moon was photographed from the Apollo 13
spacecraft  during its transearth journey homeward. Though the explosion of
the oxygen  tank in the Service Module forced the cancellation of the
scheduled lunar  landing, Apollo 13 made a pass around the Moon prior to
returning to Earth.  Some of the conspicuous lunar features include the Sea
of Crisis, the Sea of  Fertility, the Sea of Tranquility, the Sea of
Serenity, The Sea of Nector,  the Sea of Vapors, the Border Sea, Smyth's
Sea, the crater Langenus, and the  crater Tsiolkovsky.
