                          Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11, NASA   
      
      Explanation: Have you seen a panorama from another world lately?   
      Assembled from high-resolution scans of the original film frames, this   
      one sweeps across the magnificent desolation of the Apollo 11 landing   
      site on the Moon's Sea of Tranquility. The images were taken by Neil   
      Armstrong looking out his window of the Eagle Lunar Module shortly   
      after the July 20, 1969 landing. The frame at the far left   
      (AS11-37-5449) is the first picture taken by a person on another world.   
      Toward the south, thruster nozzles can be seen in the foreground on the   
      left, while at the right, the shadow of the Eagle is visible to the   
      west. For scale, the large, shallow crater on the right has a diameter   
      of about 12 meters. Frames taken from the Lunar Module windows about an   
      hour and a half after landing, before walking on the lunar surface,   
      were intended to initially document the landing site in case an early   
      departure was necessary.
