The SIVB third stage was deliberately sent to impact on the Moon.
004:50:49 Haise: Is the S-IVB doing something different now?
004:50:56 Kerwin (Mission Control): Well, I don’t know. It should be - let’s see, it should have started the LOX dump at least quite a while ago. I guess that’s complete. Why do you ask, Fred?
004:51:10 Haise: I’m looking out window 5 at what I think is the S-IVB, and I’m seeing what looks to be double plumes, growing in - it’s two very narrow bands, maybe about 3 degrees, that are streaming out from it. And then there is a less dense band that covers maybe a 40-degree swath through the sky that continues out, also, in two directions.
004:51:45 Swigert: Hey, Joe, what it looks like, kind of, is if you pull up behind a guy that’s pulling a contrail, and you get in his contrail, like he’s going away from you - there’s a long contrail.
004:51:55 Kerwin: Okay; stand by. Let me see what Frank’s got to say about that.
004:51:59 Haise: Except we’re between - Looks like we’re between two contrails, one guy above and one below.
004:52:07 Kerwin: Roger. [Pause.]
004:52:14 Haise: It’s a very pretty sight. [Long pause.]
004:52:33 Kerwin: Okay, 13; Houston. The booster says that the propulsive dump is concluded; he now has the non propulsive vents open and what you see is a normal phenomenon and it should go on for another 5 minutes or so.

The astronauts took this amazing photograph through the 250mm telephoto lens during a science weather experiment when they were scheduled to take pictures of the Earth every 22 minutes as it appeared in the window of the spacecraft in PTC (Passive Thermal Control) roll, also called “barbecue mode”.
011:13:56 Mission Control: You should have the Earth coming into view here shortly. [...]
011:16:59 Haise: I guess the world really does turn. I can see some of my landmasses now. It must be Australia down near the bottom and I guess we haven’t really figured out what’s over the - to the left. It must be some part of Asia. China, probably.
011:17:19 Brand (Mission Control): Hey, maybe the fact that you verified that the Earth really turns, we can call this Haise’s Theory, huh? [Pause.]
011:17:32 Haise: Very good, Vance. Very good.
011:17:36 Lovell: It’s looking good for you, Vance.
011:17:39 Brand: No, seriously. Very interesting, we can see on the map now that you’re between Guam and Hawaii and a little bit north, and you’re almost out 60,000 miles [110,000 km].
011:17:58 Swigert: Yeah. I just did a P21 and we had 55,900 [103,500 km]. [Pause.]
011:18:08 Brand: Okay. That’s pretty good.
