Down-Sun photograph of the Lunar Module from the rim of Little West Crater. We can see Neil Armstrong's shadow and the shadow of the Gold camera. This frame gives us a feeling for elevation of the rim. When he took this picture, Neil was clearly standing above the level of the Lunar Module footpads. Note the darkened tracks leading leftward to the EASEP deployment area and rightward to the TV camera.

This year’s Carlisle Fireshow will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing.
The United States' Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969.
The Bitts Park Fireshow will be held on Saturday 2 November and is set to be another sparkling Carlisle event not to be missed!
The centre piece of the 40-foot bonfire will be a giant moon with a curved façade with a video projection of planet Earth. More than 2,000 spectacular sparkling fireworks will also light up the sky.
It will be the 32nd Fireshow event staged by Carlisle City Council and is organised in conjunction with Merlin Fireworks Ltd.
Pre-entertainment for the event will start at 6.30pm and the Bitts Park bonfire lit at 7pm. A fairground will be open between 5pm and 9pm on Castle car park (formerly known as Devonshire Walk car park).
The event will be hosted by BBC Radio Cumbria’s Caroline Robertson. Caroline currently presents the radio station’s mid-morning programme.
Leader of Carlisle City Council, Cllr John Mallinson, said:
“This year’s event will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. As well as a 40-foot bonfire, there will thousands of fireworks and it is set to be must-see event not to be missed.”
Admission is free. A charity collection will be held with all donations going towards the Rotary Club of Carlisle South, (which donates most of its fundraising efforts to local good causes) and the Mayor’s Charity Fund (CFM’s Cash for Kids, Guide Dogs UK and Jigsaw Children’s Hospice). Volunteers will be holding charity buckets on the entrance to the event.
More than 35,000 people are expected to attend the City Council event.

Let's remember Neil Armstrong who passed away today, 25th August. His small step will live forever as one of our greatest and most memorable achievements.
The 50 year anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission with NASA astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin is celebrated in a 17-minute show, “Apollo 50: Go for the Moon”, by the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, which combined full-motion projection-mapping artwork on the Washington Monument and archival footage to recreate the launch of Apollo 11 and tell the story of the first moon landing, Friday, July 19, 2019 in Washington.

Spectacular show on the National Mall last night. It's hard to describe how marvelously this was produced and put together. All of the iconic images from sitting and waiting for the launch, the countdown with the crowd, separation of the modules, the lander approach, the One Giant Step, escaping the lunar garvity, all the way back to splashdown. All projected on the Washington Monument, a roughly 1:7 screen ratio!
They came from outer space ;-)
Reminds me on the Lunar Module that was unsed at the Apollo 11 moon landing mission.
At touchtown on the moon Neil Armstrong said: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

I'm a little slow on my processing of late. This was from 20 July, and the fantastically done 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
Thanks for looking!

It was a great morning at Phinizy Swamp in Augusta, Georgia. We arrived around 7:20 am and both eagles were perched, waiting for me. My wife and I headed straight to the tree we had seen these eagles perched on the last two times we visited. I believe this is the female eagle; she appeared larger than the male in this shot to the left. I photoshopped one of my moons taken from my front yard. There were many distractions, small limbs between me and our female eagle. Focusing on the eagle, I was able to blur out many of the limbs. I call this image 'The Eagle Has Landed 5'. I have many poses from additional images I took that morning.
Posted to commemorate the first moon landing 40 years ago.
Where were YOU when it happened?
I was 11, growing up in Salisbury, Rhodesia. We had no TV pictures, but listened to every minute of it on my Dad's old Blaupunkt valve radio - we even rigged up a long aerial into a tree to get better reception from Voice of America. The whole world stopped to watch and listen and the men who took that Giant Leap for Mankind inspired a generation.
As for the photo, it's just some reflections in a bowl of water, SOOC, cropped and rotated to represent the Lunar Lander's descent engines.

In 'The Astronot' (bit.ly/AstroTrailer), Daniel followed every step of Apollo 11's moon landing. It was the highlight of his life.
"Edwin Aldrin's visor reflects his photographer Neil Armstrong, the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, and scientific equipment. It is impossible to see the astronaut's face. Instead he reflects symbols of the ingenuity and teamwork that allowed man to stand upon a planet beyond the Earth. Tranquility Base, the Moon, July 20, 1969." [Text on the back of the postcard]

Man's first landing on the Moon was accomplished at 4:17 p.m. today as the Lunar Module, "Eagle," touched down gently on the Sea of Tranquility on the east side of the Moon. Astronauts Edwin Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were the first men to walk on the Moon.

This is what I do when I can't sleep.
This picture is inspired by the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon.
I had to...That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind :)

July 16th, 1969, Saturn V launches from Merritt island on the 8 day return mission more than a decade in the making.
Four days after launch, eagle separated from the main craft and fell into lunar orbit, landing in the Sea of tranquility with Armstrong and Aldrin onboard.

I finally hooked my camera up to the telescope (hand held over the 25mm eyepiece). Please view large for details.

Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar module pilot, walks on the surface of the Moon near the leg of the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" during the Apollo 11 exravehicular 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.
a giant leap for bearkind!
The jellybears have been on the moon. Here is proof!
Thanks to our son for providing the LEGO-lander-model and to NASA for providing the earthrise simulation video which created the background
The shadowed edge (terminator) of the first quarter moon as captured on June 30, 2017 using a Celestron C6 telescope with a ZWO ASI174MM camera.
This area also includes the locations of the Apollo 11 and 16 moon landings (see image notes). The craters Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins are also visible in the large version of the image (named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts and located near to the landing site).
This month (July 2017) will mark the 48th anniversary of man's first step on the moon.

i was 7 when three human beings, the crew of apollo 11, went to the moon. i remember being riveted to my television set... and my imagination soared.
the imagery of the time says more than i could ever write. we saw what determination, cooperation, ingenuity and the highest ethics can achieve. we aimed the lenses back to ourselves and saw our home from afar. our self-perception was forever changed.
now that i think about it, i can hardly believe the depth of the sense of wonder, enthusiasm and pride in our fellow humans that a child of 7 can have. little humans are sponges and they soak up the best and worst of what they see.
this telescope is great for children -- these days, with such great computer-aided imagery everywhere, it's important for them to look deep into the sky, to directly see saturn, jupiter and the moon. i think it will help them understand that these are real places, places we've visited, physically or remotely, places we can go to again and again.
since i was thinking about the moon landings, i decided to start with something easy. yesterday morning i woke up slightly early and went up to the roof to see the moonrise. i was impressed with the clarity -- don't forget it's a $15 'scope.
i haven't decided yet if it's safe enough to attach a dSLR to get a shot through it, but the morning was still blue and i got a few shots of the galileoscope itself as the sun began to rise over athens.
