It's one small step for space enthusiasts, one giant leap for serious collectors.
Through some miscommunication, it was believed there were no photographs from the mission until two British researchers—Harry John Phillip Arnold and Keith Wilson—came across the footage through an independent research study. Wilson later published his findings in a magazine in 1987 after confirming their authenticity with Armstrong. The famous photograph was taken by Armstrong as his reflection can be seen in the visor of Mr Aldrin’s spacesuit.
“At this point, the team went with the classic ‘Visor Shot’ of Buzz Aldrin and it was assumed that Aldrin never had the 70mm Hasselblad camera,” thereads. “In fact, Duff misunderstood Armstrong’s very precise answer. He never intended to hand the camera to Aldrin. Instead, the flight plan dictated that Armstrong leave the camera on the MESA and Aldrin would pick it up when ready. Aldrin did indeed use the Hasselblad during the EVA.
If you’re interested in owning a piece of space history, you still have time to bid on the historic photo through until December 1. One small step for space enthusiasts could be one giant leap for serious collectors.
