Wonderful & surely rare commemorative raised relief map of Tranquility Base, as produced by the United States Army Topographic Command (TOPOCOM), ca. 1969/70.
Erroneously, an Apollo 12 photograph of Pete Conrad on the moon is with the U.S. flag is featured. Really...how do you mess that up?! The photo of Aldrin facing/saluting Old Glory was plastered everywhere!
I believe the larger crater to the far right - it’s rim immediately to the right of the “e” - to be Little West Crater.
TOPOCOM even took a stab at where the U.S. flag was planted. As a military organization, it’s pretty much expected.

A very static, still-life depiction...no sense of movement...sort of like its suspended and motionless.

Neil has moved to the MESA. No other Apollo photograph has been reproduced as often as this portrait of Buzz. Neil is, of course, visible in reflection on Buzz's visor. Buzz has his left arm raised and is probably reading the checklist sewn on the wrist cover of his glove. He is moving his right foot forward, as can be seen by the mound of dirt building up in front of the toe of that boot. Note the dirt adhering to Buzz's boots and knees. Otherwise, he is remarkably clean. The "Red Apple", which he would grab and pull to open his purge valve in the event of a suit leak or a PLSS failure, is located roughly over his navel. From our perspective, the purge valve is installed in the connector to the left of the "Red Apple".

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 extravehicular 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.

In addition to Armstrong, what is likely the earth, is visible as a tiny 'pale blue dot' near the very top of the reflection from Aldrin's visor. Excellent discussion & analysis is available at the superb Apollo Lunar Surface Journal site.

“Few Apollo photographs have been reproduced more often than this color photo of Jim, the flag, the Rover, and the LM, with Mt. Hadley Delta in the background. Note the bright, rectangular pattern on the high-gain antenna. The pattern is produced by sunlight reflected by the mirrored tiles on the top of the TV camera. A detail shows that Jim has a strap-on pocket on each thigh.”

Everyone's Gone to the Moon - Jonathan King
A technological achievement not yet equaled in my humble opinion.
A moment when many young person's imagination ran wild, I know mine did.
Along with a few other things just prior to my preteen years. :0)
Among the reasons I chose the career I did & the wonderful hobby of amateur radio.
This was said to be among the moon genre songs brought with the crew to play on cassette on the mission.
A view of Hadley Rille photographed at Station 2 during the first Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. This picture was taken with a 70mm Hasselblad camera, using a 500mm focal length lens. The sun elevation was 20 degrees. This view is looking down into the rille.

Journal Contributor Vlad Pustynski has identified the boulder where Neil put the stereo camera while he deployed the LRRR and took documentation photos. After he and Buzz completed their EASEP activities, Neil grabbed the stereo camera and took it with him when he ran out to Little West Crater to take an unscheduled partial pan. Vlad also calls attention to a discarded fitting

From the ALSJ:
"This picture shows John at the ALSEP site. John is working with a sample bag, using the top of the camera, which is Charlie's, as a work surface. The "LMP" decal can be seen on the top of the camera just back of the lens."

"This unusual photograph, taken during the second Apollo 12 extravehicular activity (EVA), shows two U.S. spacecraft on the surface of the moon. The Apollo 12 Lunar Module (LM) is in the background. The unmanned Surveyor 3 spacecraft is in the foreground. The Apollo 12 LM, with astronauts Charles Conrad Jr. and Alan L. Bean aboard, landed about 600 feet from Surveyor 3 in the Ocean of Storms. The television camera and several other pieces were taken from Surveyor 3 and brought back to Earth for scientific examination. Here, Conrad examines the Surveyor's TV camera prior to detaching it. Astronaut Richard F. Gordon Jr. remained with the Apollo 12 Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit while Conrad and Bean descended in the LM to explore the moon. Surveyor 3 soft-landed on the moon on April 19, 1967."
The apparent gradual darkening (progressing from left-to-right) of the inscription/signature is not actually the case, it’s uniform throughout. Despite being diffuse (or so I thought), the source of natural sunlight was from the left.

From the ALJS, surprisingly scant & a little disappointing...other than the "jiggling" reference:
"Pete is "jiggling" the spacecraft to see if it is firmly planted."
"Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11 commander, walks slowly away from the lunar module to explore the surface of the moon.

The long, rectangular metallic object, parallel to the landing strut & obscuring most of the rungs on the ladder, is the Flag Carrier Stowage Assembly.

Spokeswoman from KAF India points out the image of Kalki Avatar Ra Gohar Shahi on the moon, to a family at the temple (Shree Adya Katyayani Shaktipeeth Temple, Chhatarpur, New Delhi).
Cropped enhancement of the ALSJ's high-res image of Armstrong working in the shadow of the Lunar Module.
In my opinion, this should be touted as “the ‘only’ photo taken of Neil Armstrong on the Moon.” It’s closer, of Neil’s front, shows reasonable detail of his suit - to include his visor assembly and RCU...and maybe even facial features...as odds are high his gold visor is up. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the white smudge visible in the upper portion of the faceplate is actually the white part of his Communications Carrier Assembly, aka ‘Snoopy Cap’.
If I can get this image to look this good - with my rudimentary skills & software - imagine what someone who knows what they’re doing, with professional-grade photo editing software could do! Jus' sayin'.

NASA: Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, stands near the Lunar Roving Vehicle at Station no. 4, near Stone Mountain, during the second Apollo 16 extravehicular activity (EVA-2) at the Descartes landing site. Light rays from South Ray crater can be seen at upper left. The gnomon, which is used as a photographic reference to establish local vertical Sun angle, scale, and lunar color, is deployed in the center foreground. Note angularity of rocks in the area.
ALSJ: "Locator" to the Rover from John's first Station 4 sample site. Charlie is still at the Rover. Note the spray of dirt propelled toward us by backward motion of Charlie's left heel. Note, also, the large rock at the lower right that John drove over just before stopping the Rover. The Rover chassis clearance is about 14 inches (35 cm). A detail

shows the tool harness (or carrier) that is used to secure the Sample Collection Bag (SCB) to Charlie's Portable Life Support System (PLSS).
Oh yeah, for the hoax believers; this is the one WITH the "C".

Apollo 17 a terrific launch! Can not forgotten, 40 years ago, I was at the Press-site at the Kennedy Space Center accredited by NASA to witness with the greatest journalists of the time of the last Apollo lunar mission. Since December 3, I visit the facility launches, assembly and training. I attend all the press conferences (Alan Shepard, Rocco Petrone etc.). Also several photo shoots of the Saturn-5 day and night. It's been two days that I have not slept and around me, there is Walter Cronkite of CBS, Jules Bergman of ABC, Ralph Morse of Life magazine, whoops! Whener Von Braun passes before me. It is hot and humid as a summer night. After over 2 hours late, I am now with photographers on the side of Banana River, which separates us from the rocket launch to 3 miles. I stand by with a camera Bell & Howell Super 8 with Filmosound. Everyone is looking forward and hope that will not another disorder technique because the launch will be postponed a month. You will hear during the countdown and launch of clicks after all these cameras and you have the sound of a large transistor radio coverage with the launch of Apollo 17 in directly to a station. Now it's 0:33. In - 4 secs. ignition of five F-1 engines are visible with a big blinding flash of light. The sound is absent, but the ground shakes, it's an earthquake! At 0 sec. The rocket rises slowly to the ramp. The flame grows bright! This is a sunrise orange with light effects in the fire of diamonds. One can see bursts of shock waves that appear around the rocket. This is absolutely amazing! Everyone is hysterical. With more than 11 secs. The launch tower is clear and the sound comes from a violent blow, rumbling low frequencies and multiple clicks clear, as dozens of lashes. The rocket takes an angle in the sky and the sound becomes louder and extremely heavy with thunder in the tens to the second. We are totally overwhelmed by the noise. It's like a situation out of control and too impressive at the same time. Sound, we shot the belly and we hammered the entire body. Nothing can be comparable. The sky became illuminated like daylight, but like orange on Mars. Fantastic! Wonderful! Before me, the men went to the moon. This is wonderful and memorable ... I was 16, I was very serious, very aware and well documented to live this historic event. Dan Beaumont report.
