S69-33995 (18 May 1969) --- A cloud-covered Earth from about 12,800 nautical miles away is seen in this color reproduction taken from the second TV transmission made by the color television camera on board the Apollo 10 spacecraft. The United States and Mexico are located at right center. The more cloud-free area is the western and southwestern part of the U.S. and northern Mexico. Clouds cover the eastern half of the U.S. Aboard the Apollo 10 spacecraft on its trans-lunar course toward the moon were astronauts Thomas P. Stafford, commander; John W. Young, command module pilot; and Eugene A. Cernan, lunar module pilot.
