LUNAR ORBITER II"THE PICTURE OF THE CENTURY" — OBLIQUE VIEW INTO THE HEART OF CRATER COPERNICUS, 24 NOVEMBER, 1966.&nbsp; Super glossy, high-contrast vintage silver gelatin contact print, 20 x 23 3/4 inches, of Lunar Orbiter image II-162H3. A super glossy, high contrast print of the image hailed by Life Magazine as "The Picture of the Century." Taken from approximately 28.4 miles above the lunar surface, from a vantage point of 150 miles south of the crater. Until this photo was taken, the few images that had been taken of the lunar surface were from a perpendicular angle - this was the first to be taken from an oblique angle, and thus the first ever view of the rugged surface, with its mountains and valleys.&nbsp; LITERATURESee Bowker &amp; Hughes,&nbsp;Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Moon; Illustrated in: Cortright,&nbsp;Exploring Space with a Camera, p 89.
