PIX4576986: Moon: Sea of Fecondite and Sea of Nectar - Moon: Mare Fecunditatis and Mare Nectaris - The Sea of Fecondite is visible in the foreground with the Messier crateres on the right. The Nectar Sea is visible near the horizon. At the bottom of the picture, the crater Langrenus. Image obtained in April 1972 from the control module of Apollo 16. This view of the moon, photographed during the Apollo 16 mission's trans - Earth coast, features Mare Fecunditatis in the foreground with the twin craters Messier at right.

PIX4581115: Circumpolar - Hemisphere south and hemisphere north - North and South celestial pole star trails - Photographic pose of several hours around the south celeste pole (left) in Australia and around the north pole in La Palma, Canary Islands. As the earth spins beneath the stars they appear to move across the sky from east to west. However, if one looks in the direction of the celestial poles, the stars appear to circle a single point on the sky. This is the position of the earth's axis of rotation projected into space. These pictures were made from Siding Spring Observatory in Australia, and from the La Plama Observatory in the Canary Islands, so the pivotal points are about 30 degrees above their respective horizons, which reflects their geographical latitudes / Bridgeman Images
