Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11)
Buzz Aldrin and the LM Eagle on the Moon, 16-24 July 1969
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, (NASA image AS11-40-5931), with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, (NASA/Kodak), 20,3 x 25,4 cm
While Buzz Aldrin was removing scientific equipment from Eagle, Neil Armstrong backed away 20 meters southeast from the LM to frame this magnificent shot, part of a full 360° panoramic sequence.
“Our LM was sitting there with its black, silver and bright yellow orange thermal coating shining brightly in the otherwise colorless landscape. I had seen Neil in his suit thousands of times before, but on the Moon the unnatural whiteness of it seemed unusually brilliant.”
Buzz Aldrin (NASA SP-350, p. 11.5).
