On April 21, 1972, NASA astronaut John W. Young, commander of the Apollo 16 mission, took a far-ultraviolet photo of Earth with an ultraviolet camera<\/a>. Young\u2019s original black-and-white picture was printed on Agfacontour professional film three times, with each exposure recording only one light level. The three light levels were then colored blue (dimmest), green (next brightest), and red (brightest), resulting in the enhanced-color image seen here.<\/p>\n

Dr. George Carruthers<\/a>, a scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory, developed the ultraviolet camera \u2013 the first Moon-based observatory<\/a> \u2013 for Apollo 16. Apollo 16 astronauts\u00a0placed the observatory on the Moon\u00a0in April 1972, where it sits today on the Moon\u2019s Descartes highland region, in the shadow of the lunar module Orion.<\/p>\n
