Photos: Apollo 11's landscapes and moon rocks

This is how all the rest of humanity got to see the moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission--on television (and maybe even a color TV). Shown here is the moon's Sea of Fertility on July 19 during the spacecraft's second revolution of the orb. The Apollo 11 crew had lifted off from Earth three days earlier, on July 16.
