Lunar surface taken by Lunar Orbiter IV. 1967. Vintage gelatin silver print on RC paper. 61 x 51 cm. "NASA-LRC" and "IV-89M" in lower margin.

The whole Moon first seen from a perspective different from Earth, May 1967. Lunar Orbiter IV was the first of the five Lunar Orbiters to fly in a polar rather than a near equatorial orbit. After the success of the first three missions in mapping the near side equatorial region of the Moon to very high resolution, NASA decided to use the fourth orbiter to map the entire Moon at moderate resolution.
