[i]High-definition images of Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin standing on the surface of the Moon were released Monday on the occasion of Aldrin's 90th birthday. Andy Saunders, a property developer from England, worked with "Apollo 11" documentary archive producer Stephen Slater to create the high-def transfers of existing images, showing new detail of Aldrin's face, enhanced color and additional clarity. "This is the moment one of the most iconic ever photographs is taken, it's of Buzz Aldrin saluting the U.S. flag," Saunders said in an email to Fox News. "[Apollo 11] gave me the opportunity to actually lift 13 separate frames which could be stacked to improve the signal/noise ratio and push the processing as hard as possible to reveal some terrific detail. You can even clearly see Neil [Armstrong] holding the camera the moment the infamous photograph is taken."[/i]
