Earth's Moon - Apollo 11
Astronaut setting up scientific experiments package on the Moon
Astronaut Edwin Aldrin setting up the seismometer, part of the
Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP) on the
lunar surface. All the Apollo missions which landed on the
Moon set up scientific experiments, including seismometers,
magnetometer, laser retroflectors and solar wind analyzers.
These experiments ran until they were turned off in 1977, and
sent back critical information on the state of the Moon.
Neil Armstrong took this picture, which shows the Lunar
Module and American flag in the background.
