This view of the full Moon - never seen before the space age - was taken with the 80mm lens as the Apollo 11 spacecraft was approximately 2,600 nautical miles (4,900 km) from the Moon. The Moon is centered on a point between the Sea of Crisis and the Sea of Fertility.
“It really does appear that there are three different Moons. One that you’re on, one that you’re in orbit of, and one that’s a long way away. And they don’t blend, and you don’t get the transition. There was only one exception to it, and that was shortly after we left the Moon, heading back to Earth, after we made the burn and it was okay. Then we could orient and look back and watch it grow smaller, from the back side... And that was the only time when we were really allowed to experience the change,” said Buzz Aldrin (Chaikin, Voices, p. 119).
