Roger. This is one of those rare occasions where Bill left his seat and I am now sitting in it, and for the first time, I can see the earth. I'm looking through his monocular; it's pretty nice.
- Jim Lovell (CMP)
-
Well, we could see South America and Florida and through the lower part of the U.S. Looks like there is a weather front going over into the central part of the United States, lot of clouds over the northwest area. Florida is clear; it looks like the east coast is pretty clear.

-
We are seeing about half of it. You moved in the wrong direction. Okay. It's coming back, a little more. Good, now a shade toward the terminator.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
A little bit more toward the terminator and in the same direction you were moving it before. Right; you have got it centered right in the middle.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
Affirmative. Frank, move your camera to the right; I want to see which way the earth moves on my screen.
- Jerry Carr (CAPCOM)
-
Okay. Moving your camera to the right moves the earth to the left on our screen. On our screen, the terminator is almost parallel to the horizontal direction, and the dark part is on the top.
