Title: Apollo 11 stereo view showing lump of surface powder with colored material
Description:
An Apollo 11 stereo view showing a close-up of a small lump of lunar
surface  powder about a half inch across, with various small pieces of
different  color. On the surface several small pits are seen, mostly less
than  one-eight inch in size, and with a glazed surface. They have a raised
rim,  characteristic of pits made by high-velocity micrometeorite impacts.
The  exposure was made by the Apollo 11 35mm stereo close-up camera.
