EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in human exploration - the Apollo 11 Lunar Module ascent stage photographed from the Command Module on July 21,1969. As astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. embarked on their mission to explore the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins skillfully piloted the Command/Service Module in lunar orbit. In this breathtaking image, we witness the Lunar Module approaching from below as it ascends towards the Command Module. The Earth rises above the lunar horizon, casting a mesmerizing glow over our celestial neighbor. The vast mare area known as Smyths Sea serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop for this extraordinary scene. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its aesthetic beauty but also in its representation of humanity's remarkable achievements and relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet's boundaries. It symbolizes both scientific progress and national pride, showcasing America's prowess in space exploration during the mid-20th century. As we gaze upon this image captured by Michael Collins, one cannot help but feel a sense of wonder at our place within the vastness of space and reflect upon how far we have come since that monumental day when humans first set foot on another world.
