The final Service module part is that big Service Propulsion System nozzle on the back. That's the rocket engine that slowed the Apollo spacecraft into lunar orbit, and later fired to get the astronauts home.
Ultraviolet astronomy photos taken with telescope on moon, Apollo 16.

File information:
This set includes Apollo 16 UVC scans from NASA converted to JPGs by Thomas.
This set also includes unconverted scans from NASA, with a RAW prefix and .raw extension. The latter can not be read by conventional image software. For more information on how it was scanned, see NSSDC link below.
To get the RAW files, see 'Download options' window and click on 'SHOW ALL'
Why, and story:
The Apollo 16 UVC experiment photos are not all readily available on the internet. Original files have been received by NASA by asking here:
nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/datasetDisplay.do?id=ASUV-00017
At this website you can read how the raw files were decoded into image files viewable by modern operating systems: www3.telus.net/summa/faruv/explain.htm
Usefull Information:
The Revised S201 catalog of far-ultraviolet objects inspects some images in detail. A great source of information.
Here's a flight article (or advanced test article) of the Apollo lunar module, also known as the LEM (lunar excursion module). The LEM held 2 astronauts for up to 3 days on the lunar surface while the Apollo CSM (Command and Service Modules) orbited overhead with the third crewmember.
The Apollo/Saturn V Center was built to house a restored Saturn V launch vehicle and features other exhibits related to the Apollo program.
This spacecraft carried astronauts Thomas Stafford, John Young and Eugene Cernan to the Moon and back in a final dry run before Apollo 11's lunar landing. On its return to Earth it travelled at 24,790 mph. The fastest speed ever for a crewed vehicle.
Nottingham Apollo / Jameah Fatimiah Mosque. The Picture House was opened on 15th March 1920 with Violet Hopson in “The Whip”. Seating was provided in stalls and circle levels for around 1,000 patrons. It had a 28 feet wide proscenium. Renamed Apollo in 1948, it was equipped with CinemaScope in 1955, but closed in December 1960. Put into other uses, in the 1990s it became the Jameah Fatimiah Mosque, at some point being significantly altered with a false floor inserted at balcony level.

Happy dog! Playing in the backyard.
I actually got him to run a bit! He's getting more active now that the temperature is dropping.

A side-angle of the Apollo 11 items (because that house light was glaring too much in the other photo).
Each Apollo spacecraft was equipped with two rucksacks filled with equipment to help the crew survive in the event of an emergency landing on earth. Rucksack #1 here includes three water containers, a radio beacon and spare battery, sunglasses, six packages of desalting chemicals, a seawater desalter kit, two survival lights, a machete and two bottles of sunscreen. This was one of the displays at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.
"Houston, TX -- Apollo 11 LMP, Aldrin, has just deployed the passive seisometer as he will on the surface of the Moon. The instrument will relay seismic information back to Earth for up a year after the Apollo 11 astronauts return to Earth. Models of the LM can be seen in the background".

NASA really made its name known with its Apollo space missions. Its first, Apollo 1, ended in tragedy after an oxygen leak fueled a deadly fire that killed the mission's three astronauts during a training exercise. In the oxygen tanks is pure oxygen. This is incredibly flammable stuff and sadly, there was really nothing anyone could do once an electrical spark ignited the flames.
January 1967, Cape Kennedy, Florida, USA --- Apollo 1 astronauts, (L-R), Virgil Grissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee, suited up and visiting the Saturn launch pad. A few days later all three would be killed in an electrical fire in the command module during testing. --- Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS
During Apollo 4, the Service Module main engine was used to accelerate the unmanned spacecraft so that its reentry velocity would be comparable to that at the end of a manned lunar mission.
