Speaking of Apollo 11 images

The Big Picture from The Boston Globe has 40 slightly nice photos from
the Apollo 11 mission here:

While looking through them, I was reminded that one of the images,
which is listed as Number 18 in the Big Picture showing a gibbous phase
Earth, is on the two Voyager Interstellar Records representing our planet
now well past Pluto and on their way into the wider Milky Way galaxy.

So it is nice to know that in addition to what is at Tranquility Base
something else from Apollo 11 will be preserved in space for many millions
of years, if not billions, for our descendants or others to see one day.
