Explanation: Have you seen a panorama from another world lately? Assembled from high-resolution scans of the original film frames, this one sweeps across the magnificent desolation of the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility. The images were taken 55 years ago by Neil Armstrong looking out his window on the Eagle Lunar Module shortly after the July 20, 1969 landing. The frame at the far left (AS11-37-5449) is the first picture taken by a person on another world. Thruster nozzles can be seen in the foreground on the left (toward the south), while at the right (west), the shadow of the Eagle is visible. For scale, the large, shallow crater on the right has a diameter of about 12 meters. Frames taken from the Lunar Module windows about an hour and a half after landing, before walking on the lunar surface, were intended to document the landing site in case an early departure was necessary.

说明: 你最近看过来自另一个天体的全景影像吗？这幅组合自原始影片定格的高解析扫描影像，呈现了阿波罗11号在静海登月点周围的壮阔荒凉景观。这些影像是由尼尔·阿姆斯特朗在1969年7月20日登月后不久，透过老鹰号登月舱的视窗所拍摄的，尤其是最左端的那格（AS11-37-5449），是人类拍摄的第一张地外世界照片。在这幅南眺的影像中，左侧前景有推进器的喷嘴，而影像的最右端，可见到老鹰号西斜的影子。可作为影像尺标的右方浅撞击坑，其直径大约是12公尺。影像取得的时间点约在降落的一个半小时后，但在进行月表漫步之前，拍照的目的在于取得降落点之景观，以防必须提前撤离。
