Backing away from the Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong shot 11 frames on a specially modified Hasselblad camera, capturing the scene at Tranquility Base. Behind Armstrong, the sun, unfiltered by any atmosphere, causes lens flare in two of the frames. Near the LM, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. unpacks a passive seismometer and a retroreflective array, two of the science experiments carried to the Moon by Apollo 11.
