This exceptional and exceptionally rare picture of a “Multiple Earth” rising over the lunar surface was taken by Alfred Worden with a special UV transmitting 105-mm lens and a special filter mounted on the Hasselblad camera along with magazine N containing the UV sensitive film from the Command Module Endeavour during its 24th revolution of the Moon from an altitude of about 120 km.
