The Apollo 16 astronauts captured this Earth rise scene with a handheld  Hasselblad camera during the second revolution of the Moon. Identifiable  craters seen on the moon include Saha, Wyld, and Saenger. Much of the terrain  seen here is never visible from the Earth, as the Command Module was just  passing into what is known as the far side of the  Moon. 04/19/1972.
