The fragment measures about 1/4" at its longest part and is attached to the cover in the center of a rubber stamped circle attesting to the fact that... the Kapton flew to the moon on Columbia. A thin, clear, plastic, adhesive disk covers the Kapton for protection.
The command module orbited the moon while the lunar module landed on the surface of the moon.
