The LUNAR ORBITER 2 space probe sends its most captivating photograph to Earth: an oblique view of the lunar surface that overturns all the "flat" views previously obtained by man with his telescopes from Earth. For the first time, the Moon appears in a 3-dimensional reality. This photograph won the status of photograph of the year and immediately went around the world. What can be seen here is the interior of the Copernican Crater which is about 60 miles in diameter and 2 miles deep. Inside the mountains more than a kilometer high. Period silver print. Press stamps on the back. 25.4 x 20.5 CM with margins. NASA. We November 28, 1964.
