Ascent Stage of Apollo 10 Lunar Module Seen from the Command Module

In this photo taken by Command Module Pilot John Young, the ascent stage of the Apollo 10 Lunar Module (LM) is seen prior to docking in lunar orbit. Mission Commander Thomas P. Stafford and Lunar Module Pilot Eugene A. Cernan are returning to the Command and Service Module "Charlie Brown" after descending in the LM, known as "Snoopy," to within 14.4 km of the lunar surface. The LM had flown over Landing Site 2 in the Sea of Tranquility, testing the systems and procedures that would be used during the first Apollo lunar landing that would happen two months later during the Apollo 11 mission. The LM descent stage was jettisoned into lunar orbit.

The lunar surface in the background is near, but beyond the eastern limb of the Moon as viewed from Earth (about 120 degrees east longitude). The red/blue diagonal line is the spacecraft window.
