LPOD Photo Gallery Lunar Orbiter Images
- Avicenna was photographed by Lunar Orbiter IV, see frame LO-IV-188-med. On this photograph, Avicenna's location is north (or "above") the Lorentz-Nernst-Rontgen group (captured at the upper half of the frame, near the sunrise terminator).
- See also LO-IV-190-med, in which Avicenna and the Lorentz-Nernst-Rontgen group were captured at the lower left part of the frame. In this photograph, a remarkable "groove" is noticeable north of Avicenna, which runs north-northwest toward an unnamed crater between Rynin and Chapman.
