Description
English: Tsiolkovsky crater on the far side of the Moon, as seen from the Apollo 15 while in lunar orbit. This is figure 3-39 of the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-289, 1972), which has the following caption:
Oblique view southwestward across the far-side Crater Tsiolkovsky. The central peak of high-albedo material contrasts sharply with the dark deposit on the crater floor. The central peak is 265 km southwest of the ground track in this telephotographic view through the 250-mm lens. The far-side wall, 336 km from the camera, is much steeper and a little higher than the near rim of the crater.
