Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, or Michael Collins The Moon as seen by the Apollo 11 crew during their homeward journey 16-24 July 1969 Two vintage chromogenic prints on resin-coated paper, 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in), [NASA photo numbers AS11-44-6662 and AS11-44-6656], with THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK watermarks on the verso (printed mid-1970's), (NASA/North American Rockwell) Footnotes: These two extremely rare frames from magazine 44/V were taken with the 80mm lens. The first photograph almost provides a full view of the Moon as the crew was already about 2000 nautical miles away. The Sea of Crises is left of centre. The second photograph looks north to rayed crater Giordano Bruno showing the curved lunar horizon. 'It really does appear that there are three different Moons. One that you're on, one that you're in orbit of, and one that's a long way away. And they don't blend, and you don't get the transition. There was only one exception to it, and that was shortly after we left the Moon, leading back to Earth, after we made the burn and it was okay. Then we could orient and look back and watch it grow smaller, from the back side. . . And that was the only time when we were really allowed to experience the change.' Buzz Aldrin
