COSMIC MESSAGE

Astronaut Michael Collins took two photos during Apollo 11, forty years ago. From them, we can make a 3D view of the lunar module, The Eagle, rising to meet the command module. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were inside, returning from their moonwalk. The smooth, dark area on the surface is Mare Tranquillitatis, the Sea of Tranquility.
