Buzz Aldrin walks on the moon, July 20, 1969… note: if you live in Australia or Eastern Asia it would have been July 21, 1969 due to the international date line.


Astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the surface and the Lunar Module (LM) “Eagle” during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA). Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) “Eagle” to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) “Columbia” in lunar orbit.
