About
the
cover image
(ASlO-27-3873):
The Apollo
10
Command and Service Modules
(CSM)
are photographed
from
the Lunar Module
(LM)
after
CSM-LM
separation in
lunar
orbit. The
CSM
was about
175
statute miles east of
Smyth’s
Sea
and
was above the rough terrain which
is
typical of the
lunar
farside. Numerous
bright
craters
and
theabsence
of
shadows show that the sun was almost directly overhead when the photograph was taken.
