fixed minor typos and added parenthetical comment about other space suits within range of the resolution limits of the cameras/lenses/film used on the Apollo missions

Nov 17, 2020 at 6:02 comment added Michael C @Lucretiel If you follow this link to the NASA collection, you can see that Armstrong also had the visor up in the image where he is in the deep shadows at the lower left corner.
Nov 17, 2020 at 5:58 comment added Michael C @SamT Every image in this answer is obviously from the images included in the link you provided or derived from one of those images. Even the derivations are versions officially released by NASA and thus have been public domain since their creation. They're all fairly easy to find using google set to "images."
Nov 17, 2020 at 5:53 comment added Michael C @Lucretiel Armstrong had the gold-coated protective visor up. Much like a military pilot's helmet, the visors of astronaut's helmets slide up into the top of the helmet. When in shadow or facing away from the sun, they can slide up the visor to see darker areas more easily. Armstrong was working under the LEM getting equipment out of storage lockers, thus needed to be able to see in the shadow underneath the LEM.
Nov 16, 2020 at 22:48 comment added Lucretiel Regarding the frame from that Buzz Aldrin time lapse video: it seems you can make out Neil's face pretty clearly through the helmet; how does that happen? Most photos of astronauts in spacesuits depict the helmet as being totally reflective from the outside for photography purposes.

Nov 16, 2020 at 22:32 comment added candied_orange @NKCampbell I have spoken.
Nov 16, 2020 at 21:41 comment added NKCampbell @candied_orange - OP disproved even that claim however, there are two such images with 'boots on the moon' other than the one claimed as such
Nov 16, 2020 at 17:25 comment added candied_orange The claim isn't that there aren't other photographs taken on the moon that feature Neil. It's that there aren't photographs that feature Neil (standing with his boots) on the moon. Sitting in the lem while it's on the moon just isn't the same. The photo has that title for a reason.

Nov 16, 2020 at 14:53 comment added Sam OT I like the large collection of pictures here! Instead of simply uploading them to Stack Exchange, would you be able to give links to where you found them? user2705196 pointed out in their answer that a full collection of Apollo 11 pictures can be found here: hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/images11.html. Perhaps you also got yours from there?
