Taken by a Camera Aboard the Lunar Orbiter 4 Spacecraft Near Whole Moon in a perspective not visible from Earth, medium resolution view, Lunar Orbiter 4, August 1967. Numbered 'IV-143M NASA-LRC' (NASA Langley) in black on the recto lower margin. Large-format vintage gelatin silver print on matte paper, image size 19 1/8 x 16 1/4 in. (48.5 x 41.1 cm), unmatted. Condition: Scotch tape remnants on the verso. N.B. The Moon always shows the same face to Earth observers, and the Lunar Orbiter robotic spacecrafts recorded the first views of the whole Moon in a different perspective showing parts of its far side. The Ocean of Storms and the Sea of Moisture are visible in this photograph of a near whole Moon centered on Crater Gassendi. Gassendi Crater was photographed multiple times for several Apollo missions due to its proximity to a possible location for an Apollo 17 landing site.
