The first NASA photographs taken on the Moon, including the first shot of an "Earthrise" and Buzz Aldrin walking on the surface, were auctioned off in Copenhagen on Wednesday (March 9).

"One of my favourite photos from this fantastic collection depicts a photo of Buzz Aldrin taken by Neil Armstrong, and you can actually see Neil Armstrong being reflected in Buzz Aldrin's visor," said Kasper Nielsen, the head of the Bruun Rasmussen auction house's valuation team.
