This image of the Apollo 12 lunar module was taken from the command module by astronaut Richard Gordon shortly after separation. The lunar module is 110 km above the surface highlands. The large crater in the left foreground is the 164 km diameter Ptolemaeus, centered at 9.3 S, 1.9 W. Herschel crater, 40 km in diameter, is at the right, centered at 5.7 S, 2.1 W. The image is looking to the west. Gordon is just beginning his 38 hours of solo orbits around the Moon in the command module while Charles Conrad and Alan Bean explore the surface. (Apollo 12, AS12-H-51-7507)
