On 20 July 1969, humanity left its first footprints on another world.

Forty years later the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera captured this image of the descent stage of the Eagle, Apollo 11’s Lunar Module (indicated by the yellow arrow). The descent stage is the largest artefact left behind by astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong after their 22-hour stay on the Moon.
