Neil Armstrong brought souvenir bag from moon

A cloth bag full of souvenirs brought back by astronaut Neil Armstrong has come to light, more than 40 years after the Apollo 11 moon landing.

The trove includes a 16mm movie camera from inside the lunar module that filmed its descent to the moon and Armstrong’s first steps on the lunar surface in 1969.

That camera “took one of the most significant sets of images in the 20th century”, said Allan Needell, a curator in space history at the National Air and Space Museum.
