Apollo 11: Armstrong’s Lunar Selfie

A voice of Buzz Aldrin standing on the Moon taken by Neil Armstrong, used to be digitally reversed to originate this lunar selfie. Captured in July 1969 following the Apollo 11 moon touchdown, Armstrong’s current voice recorded no longer totally the handsome desolation of an unusual world, but Armstrong himself mirrored in Aldrin’s bent visor. Within the unwrapped image, the spherical distortion of the reflection in Aldrin’s helmet has been reversed. The transformed compare positive aspects Armstrong himself from Aldrin’s perspective. Since Armstrong took the current image, right this moment time the image represents a fifty-four year used lunar selfie. Aldrin’s visor reflection within the current image appears here on the left. Colorful (but distorted) planet Earth hangs within the lunar sky above Armstrong’s figure, toward the upper right style. A foil-wrapped leg of the Eagle lander and Aldrin’s lengthy shadow stretching across the lunar floor are prominently viewed. In 2024 NASA’s Artemis II mission will return humans to the Moon.
