Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Apollo 8, on your backside data, it's pretty much unintelligible.

The last one we listened to, was pretty much unintelligible. Over.

Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Apollo 8, Houston. Go.
03 00 03 44
Jim Lovell (CMP): Roger. Just an interesting feature: on my center window which has ice on it, it is now beginning to melt. I'm beginning to see through it.
03 00 03 53
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. That's good news.
03 00 03 59
Jim Lovell (CMP): And again we're directly over our favorites, Messier and Pickering.
03 00 04 23
Jim Lovell (CMP): The view at this altitude, Houston, is tremendous. There is no trouble picking out features that we learned on the map.
03 00 04 33
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger. Jim, that's good news. What do you think of the lighting situation as far as the range of lighting for good visibility?
03 00 04 46
Jim Lovell (CMP): The range from here is outstanding. I wish we had the TV still going because the brown area now is darker. We have just passed over the Sea of Fertility, and the mare is darker. The mountain range has got more contrast, has more contrast because of the sun angle. Bill's got the 16 mm going for us.
03 00 05 10
Jerry Carr (CAPCOM): Roger.
