a11_v_c_o_AKP (AS11-40-5931)
In this second photo from Neil Armstrong's minus-Z (east) pan, Buzz Aldrin has removed the passive seismometer package from the SEQ bay. The foreground object with the handle is the Gold camera, designed to take close-up photographs of the very top layer of the lunar soil. Note, also, the split rock at the right edge, just below the center of the photograph. This boulder was probably ejected from a nearby impact, possibly West Crater, and broke into two pieces when it hit.
Above per the ALSJ.
Also:
Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, prepares to deploy the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP) on the surface of the moon during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera. In the foreground is the Apollo 11 35mm stereo close-up camera.
