Color photo of an astronaut descending the ladder from the LM. He is wearing a puffy white suit with a large, rectangular backpack. Parts of the LM are covered in a copper-colored foil.
Color photo of the astronaut standing in front of the LM. The lunar surface appears gray and dusty. There is lens flare from the sun just out of the frame of the photo. The scene is reflected in the astronauts golden-colored visor.
Color photo of a footprint in the lunar surface. It has horizontal treads from the bottom of the astronaut's boot. Despite being a color photo, the image is primarily light gray and black.
