Description

This awe-inspiring photo captures the iconic "Earthrise" moment during the Apollo 11 mission, as the Earth majestically ascends over the Moon's horizon. The lunar terrain featured in the image is situated in the area of Smyth's Sea on the Moon's nearside. The geographical coordinates corresponding to the center of this landscape are 85 degrees east longitude and 3 degrees north latitude. The breathtaking composition of the Earth emerging above the lunar surface serves as a powerful reminder of our home planet's beauty and fragility in the vast expanse of space.

The NASA press release text on the verso reads:

APOLLO 11 -- EARTH VIEW -- This view of the rising Earth greeted the Apollo 11 astronauts as they came from behind the Moon after the lunar orbit insertion burn. Earth is just above the lunar horizon in this photograph The unnamed surface features in the foreground are near the eastern limb of the Moon as viewed from Earth Earth is 240,000 statute miles away.

The Apollo 11 Mission

The Apollo 11 mission, launched on July 16, 1969, was a historic and groundbreaking spaceflight that marked the first time humans set foot on the moon. Led by commander Neil A. Armstrong, lunar module pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and command module pilot Michael Collins, the mission achieved the ambitious goal set by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 to land humans on the moon and return them safely to Earth. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin spent over two hours exploring the lunar surface, collecting samples, and conducting experiments, while Collins orbited above in the command module. Armstrong's famous words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," encapsulate the monumental impact of the Apollo 11 mission on human history, as it demonstrated the incredible achievements made possible through scientific innovation, collaboration, and determination.

(Apollo 12) Deployment of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package

This compelling photograph captures the deployed Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package (ALSEP) during the Apollo 12 mission on November 19, 1969. In this northwest-looking view, the lunar surface magnetometer experiment takes the foreground, while other objects on the lunar surface are visible from right to left: a discarded subpallet and cover; the solar-wind spectrometer experiment; the suprathermal ion detector experiment, with the darker radioisotope thermoelectric generator behind it; the ALSEP central station, where Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., the mission commander, is adjusting the antenna; the passive seismic experiment (PSE); and the discarded PSE girdle. The boot prints of Astronaut Alan L. Bean, the lunar module pilot, can be seen as he traversed the crater. The photograph was taken during the first extravehicular activity (EVA-1) using an HCEX (SO-168 - Ektachrome EF, high-speed color reversal, ASA 160) film with a 60mm lens. The sun angle was low, and the camera tilt was a medium oblique with a westward direction.
