This
photograph was taken from Apollo 12 in orbit about the Moon. The
view is looking to the southeast into the 189 km diameter Humboldt
crater located at 27 S, 81 E. The central peaks of the crater can
be seen at the middle of the frame. They are bright white because
of the high Sun angle. Arcuate and linear features and small craters
can be seen in the floor of Humboldt. On the horizon is the 122
km diameter Abel crater.
