Three days into the mission, and three hours away from entering lunar orbit, the crew had an eerie view of the moon as it eclipsed the sun. Armstrong described the scene out the window.

Armstrong: The view of the moon that we’ve been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three-quarters of the hatch window, and of course, we can see the entire circumference even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it’s in Earthshine. It’s a view worth the price of the trip.
