Note du spécialiste

Phoograph i. is a superb photograph looking south southwest taken with magazine 119/RR and the 250mm telephoto lens from an altitude of 123 km showing the 61-km Crater Bullialdus in the Sea of Clouds and the 26-km and 21-km Craters Bullialdus A and B beyond. The southwestern rim of the Sea of Clouds is in the background.

The relatively isolated location of Bullialdus highlights its well-formed shape with a polygonal appearance and terraced inner walls. In the center of the crater is a formation of several peaks and rises that climb to over 1 km in height. Latitude / longitude: 22.3° S / 21.7° W.

197:24:55 Peterson (Mission Control): Okay, Ken. In about 15 seconds, you should be north of Bullialdus, and we’ll have you go to f/5.6 at that point.
197:25:10 Duke: Hey, right now, I’m just passing Lassell C, looking straight down.
197:25:14 Peterson: Roger.
197 25 56 Peterson: Okay, Ken. Go to 5.6 as you get up - a beam of Bullialdus.
197:26:09 Mattingly: Okay. Abeam Bullialdus; I’ll go to 5.6.
197:26:12 Peterson: Roger.
