After 22 hours on the Moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin return to orbit aboard the ascent stage of the Lunar Module, ready to join Michael Collins and begin the long journey home.

Collins, who remained in orbit on the Command Module, is behind the lens. Every other human is in front of it.

'Little by little, they grew closer, steady as if on rails, and I thought "What a beautiful sight," one that had to be recorded. As I reached for my Hasselblad, suddenly, the Earth popped up over the horizon, directly behind Eagle. I could not have staged it any better.'

-- Michael Collins, Apollo 11


Date - 21 July 1969
