Forty years ago today, Apollo 11 astronauts Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin were on their way back to earth. Looking back at the moon, where Armstrong and Aldrin had walked around only two days earlier, they made this photo from a distance of about 10,000 miles.

I stayed up really really late tonight, waiting to see what the next "photo of the day" was going to be!

Wow, Ed. INCREDIBLE. Thanks for posting. What a shot... I think I stopped breathing for a moment.

Okay, now I can go to bed! This photo should make for some awesome dreams.
