Summary

Description
English: Part of this photo is used in Figure 29-127 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:
Enlargement of Apollo 16 metric camera frame 3005 taken after transearth injection (north is in the upper right direction). Light-colored, sinuous markings extend from near the horizon through northern Mare Marginis (upper left) and through Fleming Crater (center) to the area of Abul Wafa Crater (lower left center). The crater with a Y-shaped central peak is King (lower right center).

The text of the report refers to the figure as follows:

Apollo 16 photographs indicate that the swirls of Mare Marginis and those near Firsov Crater are at opposite ends of an extensive belt (fig. 29-127). This belt occupies a large segment of the eastern limb of the Moon from Alhazen A Crater (16° N 75° E) to Abul Wafa Crater (2° N 116° E). As shown in figure 29-128, the belt is triangular, although the main concentrations of swirls form an irregular pattern within the triangle.
