Description

Apollo 8 Hasselblad image from film magazine 13/E - Lunar Orbit, Trans-Earth Coast. Crookes crater at center.
This photo was used in Figure 2-19 of the Analysis of Apollo 8 Photography and Visual Observations (SP-201), which has the following caption:

Impact crater with well-developed field of secondaries (Apollo 8 frame 2245-E).

The text of the Analysis refers to the figure as follows:

A fresh-looking, or relatively young (Copernican), probable impact crater on the lunar far side as photographed by Apollo 8 (T/O 13) is illustrated in figure 2-19. The crater, which is about 60 km in diameter, is located approximately at 11° S, 165° W. The interior walls of the crater are terraced, and the terraces display layering. The crater has an irregular but fresh-appearing central peak, and the floor is strewn with large mounds of rock. The outer rim of the crater shows characteristics of impact-produced ejecta, including a number of secondary crater chains. Lunar Orbiter I photograph M-28 shows that the crater has a well-developed bright-ray system.
