S65-63780 (12 Dec. 1965) --- Wave of clouds along the east flanks of the Andes Mountains cast off an orange glow by the low angle of the sun in the west. The dark area to the left is at Earth's terminator. Astronauts James A. Lovell Jr., pilot, and Frank Borman, command pilot, of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Gemini-Titan 7 (GT-7) mission took the picture while looking south from northern Bolivia across the Andes Mountains. The intermontane salt basins are visible in the background. This photograph was taken with a modified 70mm Hasselblad camera, with Eastman Kodak, Ektachrome MS (SO 217) color film. Photo credit: NASA
