A footprint of the moon symbolizing that it fell to the moon. Although it is this picture that seems to be exciting at first sight, it is actually due to the illusion of the eye. If you look closely, you can see that sunlight hits from the lower right to the upper left, a shadow is formed, and the footprints are recessed.


The figure of Aldrin pilot taken by Armstrong captain. The mirror visor of the helmet shows the figure of Captain Armstrong who holds the camera.


This is a picture of the moon landing ship of "Apollo 13" which became a movie. After the explosion accident, the final appearance which delivered three astronauts to the earth as "lifeboat" is contained.


Appearance of mechanical ship damaged by explosion. It was taken just after being separated from the command ship just before entering the atmosphere and the contents of the third compartment covering the oxygen tank and the hydrogen tank were removed and the contents were exposed.


In this way, on the Flickr page of "Project Apollo Archive", it is possible to confidently check the massive photographs of over 10,000 pages. There are too many and we can not confirm everything, but both picturesPublic domainIt seems that it is set.
