The Apollo 11 Landing Site Superimposed on a Baseball Diamond

The Apollo 11 Landing Site Superimposed on a Baseball Diamond:

[...]So, I appreciate that Maria Popova brought back this fantastic visualization of the Apollo 11 mission at Ex.plore.com. It presents the mission's travels superimposed on a baseball diamond. German space enthusiast Thomas Schwagmeier created the map for NASA's History office and it's not only revealing, but beautiful.
