A gorgeous portrait of Buzz Aldrin in front of the LM Eagle, next to the Solar Wind Experiment after its successful deployment.

“I quickly discovered that I felt balanced comfortably upright only when I was tilted slightly forward. I also felt a bit disorientated – on the Earth when one looks at the horizon, it appears flat; on the Moon, so much smaller than the Earth and quite without high terrain, the horizon in all directions visibly curved away from us.”
Buzz Aldrin (from his 1973 book Return to Earth).

From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken:
110:03:20 Aldrin: Okay. You can make a mark, Houston. (Garbled)
110:03:24 McCandless (Mission Control): Roger. Solar Wind. (Pause)
110:03:36 Aldrin: And, incidentally, you can use the shadow that the staff (of the Solar Wind Collector) makes to assist you getting it perpendicular (to the Sun line).
