Neil Armstrong The most iconic image from the Apollo 11 mission. A portrait of Buzz Aldrin with the Lunar Module and the photographer (Neil Armstrong) reflected in his gold-plated visor, Apollo 11, 16-24 July 1969 Vintage chromogenic print on resin coated Kodak paper, 20.5 x 25.3 cm (8 x 10 in), [NASA photo no AS11-40-5903], with A KODAK PAPER watermarks on verso Footnotes: This is the most iconic image from the Apollo 11 mission. When this photograph was taken Buzz appeared in the centre of the photograph with his OPS antenna at the top edge of the field-of-view. When the image was prepared for release for publication soon after the mission, it was cropped at the bottom and sides, and a black area was added at the top (editing out most of the OPS antenna) to give the released version visual balance and presentable composition for publication.
