NASA has shared thousands of images of the Apollo moon landings to the image sharing site Flickr, including never before seen images of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.
More than 8400 images were uploaded over the weekend and show behind-the-scenes footage of the Apollo missions from 1961 to 1975. Taken by astronauts with Hasselblad cameras, they have been re-scanned to resurrect their original quality.
