Unwrapped: Five Decade Old Lunar Selfie
This famous photo of Buzz Aldrin on the Moon, taken by Neil Armstrong, has been digitally processed. The image reverses the spherical distortion from Aldrin's helmet, letting us see Armstrong himself more clearly. Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in 1969, making this image over five decades old. It captures a moment from an unfamiliar world.
