Mare Crisium - Apollo 11

Mare Crisium imaged by the Apollo 11 crew using a 70mm monochrome film. This three-frame mosaic is looking north across the basalt plains flooring the 550 km Crisium Basin. Darker patches on the right are the discontinous basalt flows in Palus Somni. Best estimate is that it was taken by Mike Collins sometime on July 20, 1969 after the departure of the LM for the surface.
