This photo was taken by astronaut Michael Collins. When he took this photo he was the only human to ever exist that wasn’t in the frame of this picture.

This picture was taken by the astronaut, Michael Collins. He took this photograph from the shuttle in which he was circling the moon. The vehicle Eagle with the other two astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, is seen about to land on the moon. Our Planet, Earth is also seen in the picture besides the surface of the moon. This has to be the only picture where every human that existed on earth at that time (together with the two astronauts in the Eagle) are present in one particular frame, except of course the photographer, Michael Collins! Perhaps if he had a smart phone he could have managed a selfie with everyone else in the background.
