The orbital track of the Apollo Command Service Module (CSM) around the moon during the flights of Apollo 15, 16, and 17 provided unique opportunities to observe the solar corona and zodiacal light. Photographs of the lunar sunrise and sunset were made with a 70 mm electric Hasselblad camera, 80 mm lens at f/2.8, using Eastman Kodak 2485 High Speed Recording film.
