The images reveal craters on the Moon which appear larger as the spacecraft gets closer to the lunar surface. After about 10 days of orbiting Earth, the spacecraft has begun circling the Moon, and ...
At this location the selenographic colongitude at sunrise is defined as 0°. Thus, by the time of the Full Moon the colongitude increases to 90°; at Last Quarter it is 180°, and at the New Moon the colongitude reaches 270°. Note that the Moon is nearly invisible from the Earth at New Moon phase except during a solar eclipse.

English: Equirectangular plot of declination vs right ascension of the Messier objects relative to the modern constellations, coded by type and apparent visual magnitude, with a dotted line denoting the ecliptic. Note that the right ascension axis increases from right to left to approximate the view of the night sky.
