Incredible high resolution Metric Camera view of the whole Moon after translunar injection, 16-27 April 1972

Vintage gelatin silver print on fiber-based paper, printed 1972, (NASA AS16-M-3022), with"Fairchild Camera and Instrument Space and Defense Systems" credit in bottom margin, 25,4 x 20,3 cm, restored crease in the upper left corner

This amazing whole Moon photograph taken with the 3-inch lens is centered on craters Hertz and Moiseev (latitude / longitude: 13.5° N / 103.5° E).

“A view of the Moon never seen before the Space Age, captured at about 1,000 miles as the astronauts began their trip back to Earth. The image is centered on the boundary between the lunar nearside and the Moon’s hidden face. Three lunar seas are visible as dark patches, clockwise from upper left: the Sea of Crises, the Border Sea, and Smyth’s Sea. At lower right are the highlands of the lunar farside.”

From the mission transcript as the spacecraft was about 1,000 miles away from the Moon:
200:44:09 Young: Houston, we now have, looking out the center hatch window, the whole - the - the Moon fills the whole window. I can see from horizon to horizon by just being about four inches from the center hatch window. What a spectacular view.
200:44:23 Peterson (Mission Control): Roger.
200:44:28 Young: That’s from horizon to horizon along the equator. And we are really climbing away from the planet. You can just see it getting smaller by the second.
200:44:39 Peterson: You’re really moving out, huh? [...]
200:44 57 Mattingly: Almost as fast as John was driving that Rover yesterday.
200:44:58 Peterson: Roger.
200:48:15 Duke: Pete, out of Window 5, I can already see the whole sphere.
200:48:23 Peterson: Roger.
200:50:15 Mattingly: I just can’t get these new guys away from the windows.
200:50:16 Peterson: Roger.
200:50:23 Young: That view is just beautiful.
