Stereoscopic view of rock
18 of 25 from Photos: Apollo 11's landscapes and moon rocks
There may not have been a lot to see on the moon, but what was there got intense scrutiny. This stereoscopic view (it's in color, by the way) is of a stone, embedded in the lunar surface, that's about 2.5 inches long. The 35mm stereo close-up camera used by the Apollo 11 crew was designed to yield a high resolution in a small area, and was mounted on a walking stick.
