Buzz Aldrin and the U. S. Flag on the Moon, 1969. Creator: Neil Armstrong
Buzz Aldrin and the U.S. Flag on the Moon, 1969. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot of the first lunar landing mission, poses for a photograph beside the deployed United States flag during an Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity (EVA) on the lunar surface. The Lunar Module (LM) is on the left, and the footprints of the astronauts are clearly visible in the soil of the Moon. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this picture with a 70mm Hasselblad lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the LM, the " Eagle", to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) " Columbia" in lunar-orbit

EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a historic moment in human exploration. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the lunar module pilot of the Apollo 11 mission, proudly poses beside the deployed United States flag on the moon's surface. The image showcases both Aldrin and the American flag against the backdrop of the Lunar Module (LM) on their left. The footprints left by Aldrin and his fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong are clearly visible in the moon's soil, serving as a testament to mankind's first steps on this celestial body. It was during this Extravehicular Activity (EVA) that Armstrong took this remarkable photograph using a Hasselblad lunar surface camera. While Aldrin and Armstrong embarked on their historic descent to explore the Sea of Tranquility region, astronaut Michael Collins remained with Command Module "Columbia" in lunar orbit. This image symbolizes not only America's achievement but also humanity's indomitable spirit for exploration beyond our home planet. Neil Armstrong, renowned commander of Apollo 11, captured this breathtaking shot that has become an enduring symbol of space exploration. The print serves as a reminder of our boundless curiosity about what lies beyond Earth and stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we gaze upon this image from half a century ago, we are reminded of how far we have come since then while inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries and reaching for new frontiers in science and space exploration.
