Have you seen panorama from another world lately? Assembled from
high-resolution scans of the original film frames, this one
sweeps across the magnificent desolation of the Apollo 11
landing site on the Moon's Sea Neil Armstrong looking out his
window of the Eagle Lunar Module, the frame at the far left
(AS11-37-5449) is the first picture taken by a person on another
world. Toward the south, thruster nozzles can be seen in the
foreground on the left, while at the right, the shadow of the
Eagle is visible toward For scale, the large, shallow crater on
the right has a diameter of about 12 meters. Frames taken from
the Lunar Module windows about an hour and a half after landing,
before walking on the lunar surface, were intended to initially
document the landing site in case an early departure was
necessary. - Panorama by Syd Buxton
