The photographs taken by the Apollo 11 astronauts are some of the most well known in the world, but a large number have only recently been restored to their former glory"When you get back... you will be a national hero. But a large number of Apollo 11 photographs that didn't have any scientific or historical value have remained "unseen" - until now. Over the past few years, the Apollo VII–XVII project has been working on bringing this lesser known imagery back to life. Chosen purely for their photographic and aesthetic merit, the photos were meticulously restored from original scans of the 70mm film the astronauts shot during their mission. Thanks to an extensive restoration and colour grading process, these unknown Apollo 11 photographs have now been brought back in such detail, brilliant colour and quality, that they give a truly unique perspective of this amazing moment in history.
