1972 年 4 月 21 日阿波罗 16 号任务期间，从月球表面获得了 1050 至 1600 A 和 1250 至 1600 A 波长范围内的地球远紫外图像。这些图像的角分辨率约为 2 弧分（230 公里线性分辨率），并经过定量分析，以获得极光（两个波长范围）和极光的绝对强度和空间分布。白天和夜间气辉带和热带气辉带（1250 至 1600 A 波长范围）。这些观测结果与之前从 Ogo 4 航天器获得的结果一致，但除此之外，它们还提供了有关整个半球单一时间各种排放的空间分布的新细节。至少在北半球，显示了普遍的夜间气辉。
Far ultraviolet imagery of the earth in the 1050- to 1600-Aand 1250- to 1600-A wavelength ranges was obtained from the lunar surface during the Apollo 16 mission on April 21, 1972. The images have an angular resolution of about 2 arc min (230-km linear resolution) and have been quantitatively analyzed to obtain absolute intensities and spatial distributions of the polar auroras (both wavelength ranges) and of the day and night airglow and tropical airglow belts (1250- to 1600-A wavelength range). The observations are consistent with previous results obtained from the Ogo 4 spacecraft, but in addition, they have provided new details on the spatial distributions of the various emissions over an entire hemisphere at a single time. A general night airglow, at least in the northern hemisphere, is indicated.
