Apollo 11 Moon Landing – July 20, 1969

The Apollo 11 Lunar Module ascent stage is photographed from the Command and Service Module by Michael Collins, CSM Pilot, during rendezvous in lunar orbit.  The LM, with Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. aboard, returning from the lunar surface, was making its docking approach to the CSM.   Astronaut Michael Collins remained with the CSM while the other two Apollo crewmen explored the moon.  The LM descent stage, used as a launch base, was left on the lunar surface.  The large, dark-colored area in the background is Smyth’s Sea, centered at 85 degrees east longitude and 2 degrees south latitude on the lunar nearside.  This view is looking west.  The Earth rises above the lunar horizon.
