Hi all,

I was very intrigued to learn that Apollo 4 took some pictures of Earth, but all I can find of them online is a picture of a crescent Earth (see http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/images/mapA_h.jpg - warning, huge image!). I tried looking it up on PDS and it looks like they're all available at the NSSDC but not online. Are there any other Apollo 4 Earth (or moon?) images online anywhere at all?

Or can anyone tell me what the dataset consists of? I'm just asking out of curiosity, not for any science use.

(funnily enough, despite being Apollo, this does actually count as being relevant to the forum because Apollo 4 was unmanned smile.gif)

I had a go at this myself & managed to persuade someone to up better quality images to me (I very rudely neglected to get back to them after going on holiday and haven't dared to go back).

Suffice to say that the images were taken in such a fast burst that they show hardly any rotation of the Earth at all and I gave up.
