APOLLO 11 LANDING SITE – Photograph signed. 1969. Taken less than 2 hours from Eagle's historic landing on the Moon, showing the Apollo 11 landing site from lunar orbit. SIGNED and INSCRIBED: “ Landing Point, Buzz Aldrin, Apollo XI .” Aldrin pauses during flight activities to photograph the landing site as they pass over it in lunar orbit, later marking his and Armstrong's landing point with an "X." The site is at the very beginning of a “lunar day,” with the lunar surface at the top of the photograph still in darkness. Lunar sunrise was crucial to Armstrong's piloting as he had to avoid a large boulder-strewed crater with less than a minute of fuel remaining during his landing. Vintage color photograph, 8 by 10 inches, a full-frame Hasselblad photograph, image 7.25 inches square. NASA ID number AS11-37-5437 in red at upper left corner. "A Kodak Paper" stamp on verso.
