Eagle In Lunar Orbit, 1969. Creator: Michael Collins
Eagle In Lunar Orbit, 1969. The Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) " Eagle", in a landing configuration is photographed in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Modules (CSM) " Columbia". Inside the LM were Commander, Neil A. Armstrong, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. " Buzz" Aldrin Jr. The long " rod-like" protrusions under the landing pods are lunar surface sensing probes. Upon contact with the lunar surface, the probes send a signal to the crew to shut down the descent engine

Eagle In Lunar Orbit, 1969 - A Historic Moment in Space Exploration
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in human history - the Apollo 11 mission's Eagle Lunar Module orbiting the moon. Taken by Michael Collins from the Command and Service Modules "Columbia" this image showcases the lunar module in its landing configuration as it hovers above the moon's surface. Inside this remarkable spacecraft were two brave astronauts, Commander Neil A. Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. "Buzz". Aldrin Jr. , who would soon make their historic descent to become the first humans to set foot on another celestial body. The photograph reveals intriguing details of the lunar module, including long rod-like protrusions beneath its landing pods known as lunar surface sensing probes. These probes played a crucial role by sending signals to alert Armstrong and Aldrin when it was time to shut down their descent engine upon contact with the lunar surface. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet. It symbolizes not only American achievement but also represents a giant leap for all humankind. Michael Collins' photograph serves as an enduring testament to our species' boundless spirit of exploration and technological prowess that propelled us into space during one of mankind's most significant achievements – reaching out towards distant worlds within our solar system.
