In the words of one of our staffer’s 7 year-year-old nephew,

“Dude, we landed on the moon today!”


These images are held in Record Group 57, the Records of NASA, at the National Archives at Riverside.  The two photos show an astronaut on the moon and a longer shot of the surface of the moon, and the map is a landing map for Apollo 11.  Please note the depiction of the sun on the map!
