This
photograph of the Apollo 11 Command Module (CM) was taken from the
Lunar Module (LM) after separation, just before the LM's historic
ascent to the Moon. The lunar surface below is in the north central
Sea of Fertility, centered at 51 degree east longitude, 1 degree
north latitude. The surface is approximately 125 km below the two
spacecraft. The CM is 3.9 meters in diameter. Armstrong and Aldrin
are aboard the LM, Collins aboard the CM.
