- Lacus Spei was captured on Apollo 16's color-Hasselblad AS16-122-19606. In this frame, the camera was looking west-northwest. Crater Gauss is noticeable in the foreground, while the dark Lacus Spei is seen near the curved horizon. It is worthwile to compare this photograph with LAC-28 in the Clementine Atlas.
