Summary
| Description |
English: This is the first composite panorama of Tranquility Base taken by Neil Armstrong about 75 minutes after Eagle's Landing. It is 'composite' in the sense that it has been rendered using images that were captured at different times which manifests itself as the differing colour levels (particularly in the centre-right) and is a result of different illumination levels of the lunar surface caused by the Sun being at different elevations at those times.
The frames are AS11-37-5449 to 5453, plus 37-5459, 40-5847 and 40-5848. Post-EVA frames 37-5497 and 37-5500 were used to help with alignment and to fill in some small gaps. |
