Summary
The original database describes this as:
Description: The Lunar Module (LM) before extraction from the SIVB (Third stage [IVB] of Saturn Launch vehicle) stage. The Command Service Module (CSM) separated from the SIVB (Third stage [IVB] of Saturn Launch vehicle) approximately 30 minutes after the Translunar Injection (TLI) burn. This photograph was taken after the vehicle turned to permit examination of the Lunar Module (LM) before docking. Abundant particles released from the vehicles during separation shine against the blackness of space. The top hatch, used for docking, is clearly visible in this photograph; but the docking target is partly in shadow. Original film magazine was labeled NN,filmtype was SO-368 (Color Exterior),80mm lens.
