Summary

Description
English: This view of the moon is figure 3-8 of the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-289, 1972), which has the following caption (slightly edited):

Dawes crater and mare deposits in the Sea of Serenity and Sea of Tranquility are illuminated by a high Sun angle. Lunar-surface retroreflectivity produces the bright spot near the left edge of the photograph, which shows an area of normal mare material in the Sea of Serenity. Darker deposits surrounding Dawes crater crop out as a ring around the southern margin of the Sea of Serenity. A sharp contact between the two units forms an arc from the lower left corner to the middle of the upper edge of the photograph.

(This photo is oriented with north at the top, unlike the photo in the Report.)
