About this work
Short description: Astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the Moon
Full description: Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Lunar Module pilot, walks on the surface of the Moon near the leg of the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA). Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "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.
Variations: The upper black band is an addition to the original photo, carried out for "reasons of balance". See the original photo and the explanation of the edit at NASA's website. In the expanded version of the photo, it is possible to see a horizontal white line at the top left (viewer's right) of the helmet. This is the base of the antenna that was cut in the original frame of the photo.
