As the Apollo 8 crew began the homeward journey, Anders photographed for the first time the whole Moon from a perspective not visible by terrestrial observers from above its eastern limb: familiar frontside features such as the Sea of Tranquility, Fertility, Crises, and Nectar are easily identified. Features near the east limb as viewed from Earth, such as the Southern Sea, Smyth’s Sea, Border Sea, and the Crater Humboldt, can be viewed without extreme foreshortening. Lunar farside features occupy most of the right half of the picture.
