Image: The glare of the sun
This view of Antares, the Apollo 14 Lunar Module as it sat on the moon's Fra Mauro Highlands, reflects a circular flare caused by the brilliant sun.
The unusual ball of light was said by the astronauts to have a jewel-like appearance.
At extreme left, the lower slope of Cone Crater can be seen.
