Description
Edgar Mitchell climbs out of the Lunar Module Antares and descends the ladder to the surface - filmed by Alan Shepard who is already on the surface. A bright Sun burst to the left of Antares and behind the communications antenna bursts into the lens. A strong shadow from the communications antenna and the LEM itself are cast across the bright grey surface.
