Eagle returns to Columbia with Earth behind, Apollo 11

Apollo 11, July 21, 1969. Michael Collins photographed Eagle's ascent stage rising to meet him over Mare Smythii, with a half-lit Earth above the lunar horizon. Armstrong and Aldrin are inside the little craft, the rest of humanity is on the planet behind it, and the photographer is the one person out of shot, which is why this frame is so often called the picture of everyone but Collins. Their descent stage stayed behind at Tranquility Base.
