Greenland By Air . . .
This photo of the Sondrestrom Glacier in Greenland was taken from a window on NASA's Gulfstream III environmental research aircraft as it flew along the Fjord outside of Kangerlussuaq on June 4. The synthetic aperture radar mounted on the aircraft's belly had just completed the repeat pass of southeast Greenland and was on its way back to Thule Air Base during the Arctic Ice Radar Mission.

Earthrise . . .
The Apollo 16 crew captured this Earthrise with a handheld Hasselblad
camera during the second revolution of the moon.
Much of the terrain seen here is never visible from the Earth, as the command module was passing onto what is known as the 'dark side' of the moon.
Apollo 16 launched on April 16, 1972 and landed on the moon on April 20. The mission was commanded by John Young; Thomas K. Mattingly II was the command module pilot and Charles M. Duke, Jr. served as the lunar module pilot.
