Apollo 16 was distinguished as being the first (and only) mission to use the moon as an astronomical observatory. The crew used the a camera/telescope combination known as the Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph and was used to take pictures of stars in the UV spectrum, a task difficult from Earth.
16 was also one of the most difficult landings, the first mission to land in the lunar Highlands rather than on the relatively flat Mare regions.
