Lunar module

Aldrin gets some scientific gear out of the lunar module for deployment on the moon's surface. The small object in the right foreground is a 35mm stereo close-up camera. (A 70mm camera was used to take this picture. Most photos of an Apollo 11 astronaut on the moon were of Aldrin, since for the 2.5 hours of extravehicular activity on the surface, Armstrong typically was the one wielding that camera.)
