50th anniversary of Apollo 11: Look at these panoramas from the Moon missions

It's the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 mission, when humans stepped on the surface of the moon for the first time. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has “stitched together” images from the Apollo landing sites and turned them into panoramic shots. This offers a peek into what the 12 humans who walked on the moon's surface experienced visually

These adjustments were made based on observations of the Moon walkers who reported that there are no stars visible in the sky due to the bright lunar surface reflection of the Sun.
