This photograph was taken by Anders looking southeast with the 250mm telephoto lens and magazine 13/E.

“Judging by the lower contrast of the photograph, the astronauts took it through one of the fogged-up windows” (AFJ mission transcript at 071:22:00 GET).

[NASA caption] Oblique view of the lunar surface taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft looking southward across the farside crater Tsiolkovsky which is centered near 129° E and 21° S. The flat floor of Tsiolkovsky is much darker than the surrounding lunar surface. It is darker than most of the mare material observed by the Apollo 8 crew. The dark material is about 125 km (80 statute miles) across measured from the near-to far-side contacts in this view. The central peak, which stands as an “island” within the dark material, is about 40 km (25 statute miles) long. High Sun angle at the time of this photograph accentuates the contrast between light and dark material and degrades the ability to detect topographic details. The only boulders observed by the Apollo 8 crew had rolled from the light-colored peak onto the dark, smooth surface near the right hand end of the peak.

“We were like three schoolkids. The most awe-inspiring sight. Looking back at the back side of the Moon [...] for the very first time.”
James Lovell (Chaikin, Voices, p. 36)

This photograph is a frame of a vertical photo strip of the lunar farside taken by Anders with B&W magazine 12/D and the bracket-mounted Hasselblad fitted with the 80mm lens and controlled by an intervalometer taking frames at preset 20 second intervals. The strip was taken between revolutions 3 and 4 as the crew rounded the backside of the Moon before witnessing the famous Earthrise for the first time. The photograph shows a keyhole-shaped crater (bottom left of picture) next to the circular 31-km Crater Korolev L (center of picture, unnamed at the time of the mission). The low (7°) Sun elevation near the farside terminator enhances the details of the relief.
Latitude / longitude: 5°S / 157°W.

“We used two distinctive craters on the far side of the Moon for navigation. This one was just past the Ocean of Storms as you went around the left side as you look at the Moon, a keyhole shaped crater in the upper part of another crater, one inside the other,” noted James Lovell. He appreciated this photograph because “the shadows were just right; the Sun was at a very low angle” (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 57).

Anders took this “target of opportunity” photograph looking southeast with the second Hasselblad camera equipped with the 250mm telephoto lens and B&W magazine 13/E as the crew was orbiting the backside before witnessing “Earthrise” for the first time. The area photographed is on the northwestern shore of Crater Gagarin. Latitude / longitude: 19° S / 144° E.

[NASA caption] A brightly-rayed crater on the farside of the moon near the sub solar point, where the Sun was directly overhead, as seen from the Apollo 8 spacecraft. Brightly-rayed craters are numerous on the lunar front side; however, they have not been previously observed in such detail on the farside.

075:38:21 Anders: I’ve got a bunch of scarps here - they’re to be shot - would you give me the end tape... [...]
075:39:17 Anders: Okay, frame - hope I’m not losing count here.
075:39:27 Anders: Okay, definitely frame 114 (on Hasselblad magazine 13/E), target of opportunity (photograph), extremely fresh impact crater.

“We flew to the Moon as pathfinders for future Apollo missions. The first view of the Moon was mesmerizing, as we were aware that no other humans had seen the far side of the Moon directly.”
Frank Borman (Jacobs, p. 34)

This frame of the vertical photographic strip recorded by Anders over the backside with the bracket mounted Hasselblad equipped with the 80mm lens and controlled by the intervalometer shows a portion of the floor of the Crater Pasteur (latitude / longitude: 11°S 107°E, north at the top) with the 20-km Crater Pasteur G washed out at bottom left.The photograph was taken at the end of a roll maneuver of the spacecraft while the crew witnessed the famous Earthrise for the first time in human history.

[NASA caption] View of the lunar surface as photographed from the Apollo 8 spacecraft. Zero-phase bright spot. With near-vertical Sun illumination, topographical detail is washed out and differences in surface brightness are accentuated. The numerous small bright-halo craters become conspicuous. A few larger craters have extremely bright inner walls that are commonly streaked by darker material. The bright glow near the conspicuous bright-walled crater is a halo that surrounds the position of the spacecraft shadow.
