                   Image Credit: 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 55 years   
      ago by Neil Armstrong looking out his window on 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.   
      Thruster nozzles can be seen in the foreground on the left (toward the   
      south), while at the right (west), the shadow of the Eagle is visible.   
      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 document the landing site in case an early departure   
      was necessary.
