Michael Collins (Apollo 11)
Crater Daedalus on the forbidding center of the backside of the Moon, 16-24 July 1969
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, numbered "NASA AS11-44-6609" in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm, 3 little spots with loss of layer in the right margin
Michael Collins took this astonishing photograph as he was orbiting the backside of the Moon alone in the CSM Columbia.
This view was captured with the 80mm lens and color magazine 44/V as the Sun was setting over the center of the “Dark Side” of the Moon.
“When the Sun is shining on the surface at a very shallow angle, the craters cast long shadows and the Moon’s surface seems very inhospitable, forbidding almost. I did not sense any great invitation on the part of the Moon for us to come into its domain. I sensed more almost a hostile place, a scary place.”
Michael Collins (from the documentary In The Shadow of the Moon, 2007)
