Apollo 11 Lunar Surface

Buzz Aldrin photographed on the lunar surface by Neil Armstrong during humanity's first crewed Moon landing, with Armstrong and the Lunar Module Eagle reflected in Aldrin's gold-plated visor. Taken with a chest-mounted Hasselblad camera, it is among the most recognized photographs of the twentieth century and one of only a handful of surface images that show any part of Armstrong himself.
