When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon, they did what any tourist would do — take hundreds of photos.
A few of these images are more famous than others, like the one of Aldrin with Armstrong reflected in his visor, and the one of Aldrin looking at the American flag.
But people at NASA and contributors to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal have painstakingly uploaded every single one of the photos from all six moon landings onto the Journal's website and Flickr page.
And what they've done that's really cool is figure out how some of them fit together to assemble larger photos, showing the lunar surface in unprecedented detail.
They even animated a few consecutive photos into GIFs, making you feel like you're on the Moon with Armstrong and Aldrin.
