Astronaut Edwin F. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, faces the camera as he walks on the Moon during Apollo 11 extravehicular activity. The plexiglass of his helmet reflects back the scene in front of him, such as the Lunar Module and Astronaut Armstrong taking his picture. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, Apollo 11 commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera. The astronauts footprints are clearly visible in the foreground. The only picture with both astronauts!

From PetaPixel:
"These Are the Most Famous Photos of All Time According to a New Study" - This photo is #1 on their list.
This photo is from my fathers collection. He worked at NASA from it's inception, until his retirement. He has many unique items in his collection that I will be posting soon.
The condition of this photo is good. It has some slight curling on the edges, and has some slight yellowing. There is a crease on the right side, middle area on the border. The lower right border has a crease/fold in the border. It was kept in a folder with other pictures.
