A unique photograph
AS12-51-7501 is "not just another" orbital Hasselblad photograph of crater Hind (in the upper right corner of this low-res LPI version). Although it was made through one of the small windows of Apollo 12's CSM Yankee Clipper, the most remarkable fact about this photograph is: it is the only Apollo-Hasselblad which shows the Lunar Module (L.M. Intrepid) surrounded by lunar background, instead of black space!
A medium-resolution version of this photograph shows LM Intrepid "below" the lunar horizon. There's also a King-Size Hi-Res version of this photograph, online in Kipp Teague's PROJECT APOLLO ARCHIVE.

Nomenclature
- John Russell Hind (May 12, 1823–December 23, 1895) was a British astronomer. He is notable for being one of the early discoverers of asteroids. He also discovered and observed the variable stars and discovered Nova Ophiuchi 1848 (V841 Ophiuchi), the first nova of modern times (since the supernova SN 1604).
- It's a bit strange to think that the name of this crater (W.R.Birt's Hind) could have been M.F.Van Langren's Trautmansdorffii, according to page 200 of Ewen A. Whitaker's Mapping and Naming the Moon (1999).- DannyCaes May 27, 2013
