Original – Oblique view of northern Montes Apenninus, including Mons Hadley, Hadley Rille (near center), and the Apollo 15 landing site, facing east from an altitude of 105 km, on revolution 34 of the Apollo 15 mission.

Reason

Very eye-catching image showing the northern Montes Apenninus on the moon. The image was taken during Apollo 15 in 1971, and the landing site is visible in the photo.
