Summary
The original database describes this as:
Description: A close-up view of the Apollo 16 Cosmic Ray Detector (CRD) experiment deployed at the +Y strut of the Lunar Module (LM). The crew members moved it to this position from near the deployment site of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) because, in the words of astronaut John W. Young, commander, “The panels were getting a little warm.” Note that the LM did not skid upon landing, as evidenced by the landing contact probe’s folded back (neatly) position and the lack of skid marks. Original film magazine was labeled C, film type was SO-168 (Ektachrome EF High Speed Color Reversal), 60mm lens with a sun elevation of 34 degrees.
