A slightly more descriptive ‘official’ caption, from both the 1963 & 1964 versions of this scene, both linked below:
“Artist Drawing by North American Aviation Inc. - After the third stage engine burns for the second time the Apollo vehicle is on its lunar trajectory. The adapter surrounding the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) is separated. Next the command and services modules separate leaving the LEM attached to the third stage.”
More precisely, this depicts commencement of transposition and docking maneuvers.
Something I'd never noticed before, the LEM's porch also appears to be folded down. Interesting. To me, that is.
Artwork most likely by the supremely talented Gary Meyer.
