DescriptionAS16-M-0162.png	English: This photo is used in Figure 28-4 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption: Apollo 16 metric camera frame 162 showing part of the central lunar highlands centered near the landing site. Numerals indicate (1) an area of contrast between (2) the flat plains-forming unit (Cayley Formation) and (3) the rugged terra units. The unusually high albedo of the area indicated by the numeral 4 is presently not understood. Arrows point to two examples of the long fractures subradial to the lmbrium Basin that are referred to as Imbrium sculpture. The photograph is approximately 165 km on the side. (The photo is labeled in the report.)
