It's the only photo in the history books that conveys the message, "Here I am orbiting Earth, but first, let me take a selfie."
Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man to set foot on the moon, also took the first known selfie from space during the Gemini 12 mission in 1966. The astronaut tweeted his legendary selfie, which he took from Earth's orbit, back in 2014.

The photo, which Aldrin called "the best selfie ever," has recently resurfaced online after being offered for sale at the Bloomsbury Auction house in London, along with 1,100 other vintage photographs from the early days of space exploration.
The auction will take place on Feb. 26 and the collection of photographs is expected to sell for up to $1 million, according to The New York Times.
