This outstanding view of the whole full moon was photographed from the Apollo 11 spacecraft during its trans-Earth journey homeward. When this picture was taken, the spacecraft was already 10,000 nautical miles away. Onboard Apollo 11 were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the moon, astronaut Collins remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit.

Cool crater(?)/great angle/spectacular lighting - with partially filled floor (if indeed a crater) - immediately adjacent/NW of King Crater - on the far side of the moon - what more could you want?!
If by some remote chance you DO want more, check out this peripheral fantastic stuff...courtesy the LROC. The area in this photo is labeled as the "main melt pond":
Who knows...this might be one of the regions future Taikonauts will explore...sooner rather than later.
I wonder which pair of lunar overshoes is whose. Compare/contrast them with the photos of Gene Cernan's (post-mission) at:

A frame from Alan Shepard's Station B1 pan, showing Ed Mitchell studying the traverse map. This is one of the better known pictures taken during Apollo. Ed has turned, but is still trying to puzzle out where they are. This photograph is symbolic of the traverse as a whole. We can see Ed's camera handle and his tongs tethered on his left hip.

Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, moves across the lunar surface as he looks over a traverse map during an extravehicular activity (EVA). Lunar dust can be seen clinging to the boots and legs of the space suit. Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander, and Mitchell explored the lunar surface while astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, orbited the moon in the Command and Service Modules (CSM).

Photo centered on Dave Scott as he uses the optical sight/sighting scope of the high-gain antenna. This may be the best picture in the Apollo collection of the sighting scope being used. A detail

may show, circled on the right, a small rip in the outer thermal layer of Dave's PLSS that Jim [Irwin] mentions during the EVA-2 close-out at 149:03:02. Additionally, there is a small patch on the left, that may represent abrasion against the left side of Dave's seat back frame.

This post-EVA photo out Buzz Aldrin's window shows the U.S. flag, the TV camera, and the cluster of boulders beyond, which were probably ejected from West Crater. Note the raised rim on the fresh, young crater in the middle distance beyond and to the right of the TV camera. Note, also, the cable running from the MESA to the TV camera.
Above per the ALSJ.
Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Apollo 11 Lunar Module Pilot, prepares to deploy the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP) during lunar surface Extravehicular Activity (EVA). Neil A. Armstrong, Commander, took this picture with a 70mm lunar surface camera. During flight, the EASEP is stowed in the Lunar Module's (LM) Scientific Equipment (SEQ) Bay, within the left rear quadrant of the descent stage looking forward. Aldrin is removing the EASEP from its stowed position.
“Apollo Landing Site 3
This sample plastic relief map depicts a portion of the precise lunar topographic model prepared for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This model is an integral part of a Lunar Module Simulator. The simulator provides crew training and orientation for Apollo Astronauts for scheduled lunar landings and is installed at the John F. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Kennedy Florida. The “lunar surface was prepared by the U.S. Army Topographic Command from Orbiter IV and V photography provided by NASA. The completed model contains over 500,000 craters, measures 22 feet by 14 feet, and weighs approximately 600 pounds.”

Charlie Duke took this "locator" to the LM while John Young raked at the second Station 10 Prime rake site.
ALSJ paraphrased above.
Multiple neat things going on here: the Lunar Module (Orion) is partially visible to the left of Young's PLSS; the United States Flag is then visible directly to the left of the LM; the gnomon by this point is missing its staff; flying lunar regolith is captured mid-flight, obscuring Young's right lunar overshoe, as he shuffled laterally in that direction; Duke is visible in the visor AND it's a little blurred...enhancing that kinetic geological specimen collecting action shot that can only be achieved when wielding the lunar rake. For the hoax believers: there's even a processing/emulsion "defect"...mysteriously terminating RIGHT at the horizon line to the far left.
Roger, fully concur, awesome.
"Buzz has reached the bottom rung of the ladder and is about the jump down to the footpad. As he said at the moment Neil took this picture, "Okay. I'm going to leave that one foot up there and both hands down to about the fourth rung up." The thermal shroud protecting the U.S. flag that Neil and Buzz deploy during the EVA can be seen on the underside of the lefthand ladder rail. See, also, NASA photo S69-38755,
www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/mccraw.gif
which shows the flag on a LM mockup in Houston."

"Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, descends the steps of the Lunar Module (LM) ladder as he prepares to walk on the moon. He had just egressed the LM.

Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong waves to well-wishers in the hallway of the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building as he, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin prepare to be transported to Launch Complex 39A. Accompanying them a few hours before the start of their historic lunar landing mission is Donald K. (Deke) Slayton, Director of Flight Crew Operations.

Boosted by the Saturn V launch vehicle, the Apollo 11 mission with a crew of three: Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. Aldrin, made the first manned lunar landing. The Saturn V vehicle was developed by Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) under the direction of Dr. von Braun.

The erroneous & subpar description associated with the numbered version of this photo:
“APOLLO 11 LUNAR ACTIVITIES - A-4 — Panoramic View of lunar surface as photographed by astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., during the historic Apollo 11 mission.”
Common and Kid Cudi both came out to UF this week and had a free concert despite freezing rain, and it was really incredible and fun.
"Astronaut David R. Scott, with tongs and gnomon in hand, studies a boulder on the slope of Hadley Delta during the Apollo 15 lunar surface Extravehicular Activity (EVA). The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) or Rover is in right foreground. View is looking slightly south of west. “Bennett Hill” is at extreme right. Astronaut James B. Irwin took this photograph. Scott was Mission Commander, and Irwin served as Lunar Module Pilot. The pair descended together in the Apollo 15 Lunar Module to explore the Hadley-Apennine area while Astronaut Alfred M. Worden, Command Module Pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules in lunar orbit.”
From the ALSJ:
"This frame from Jim's Station 2 pan shows Dave examining the Station 2 boulder. In the foreground, we can see the back of the Rover. Note the orientation of the high-gain antenna. Also, a comparison with 11422
www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/AS15-85-11422HR.jpg
indicates that, while taking the pan on the sloping surface, he has unintentionally moved downhill."
