Apollo 14 CPLE at Fra Mauro. Note the East direction
indicator and the fact that the sun shortly after lunar dawn was full on
to that side of the package, and the shadow goes due west. Also, I left
the footprint at right in the picture for scale, so that the viewer could
get a good sense of the size of the package.
