Photographs showing Neil Armstrong taking his first 'small steps' on the moon are some of the most iconic images in the world. Now a Polish photographer has stitched together a collection of Nasa images into a series of stunning panoramas to show the Apollo missions like they've never been seen before. This one gives a fresh look at Apollo 11, including the famous flag, lander and footprints
Maciej Winiarczyk, 43, used scenes from the US space agency's archive and Photoshop to edit them and join them together. This long image shows a scene never captured simmulateously from the final mission of the United States' Apollo program
Two weeks ago 10,000 photographs taken by the astronauts on the lunar missions in the 1960s and 70s were uploaded to Flickr by Apollo archivist Kipp Teague. But Mr Winiarczyk has worked quickly to create scenes, such as this Apollo 17 one
Apollo 15 was the fourth to land on the moon and the first to make use of a moon buggy (shown in this stitched image). Commander David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin spent three days on the moon, including 18 hours outside the spacecraft
Due to the astronauts' detailed descriptions of their surroundings during the lunar missions, Mr Winiarczyk, who is originally from northern Poland, was able to put together the panoramic shots using editing software. This one is made from Apollo 17 imagery
This panorama was made from images taken on the Apollo 16 mission, which was the first to land in the lunar highlands. The undulating landscape can be seen in the artwork, but if you look closely you can tell it's stitched because of differences in the shadows
A lot of photographs from Apollo missions were taken by the astronauts themselves using Hasselblad cameras strapped to their chests (one shown above in the panorama). This stitched image from Apollo 12 shows extra details and an intriguing reflection in the visor
The photographs of Neil Armstrong taking his 'small step for man' from Apollo 11 are instantly recognisable (one is shown), but there are also more unusual ones among Nasa's Apollo archive taken by astronauts using chest-mounted Hasselblad cameras
Photographs presumably taken by Neil Armstrong show Buzz Aldrin exiting from the Apollo Lunar Module (pictured) and they capture the difficulty of climbing out from a small opening and descending a ladder in zero gravity, onto the surface of the moon
Over the course of the Apollo missions, 12 astronauts walked on the moon and as well as conducting experiments, took some incredible photographs using specially-adapted Hasselblad cameras. This shot is from the Apollo 11 landings and shows the carrying of equipment
Over the course of the Apollo missions, 12 astronauts walked on the moon and as well as conducting experiments. This photograph shows one of the famous footprints left on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission, with the astronaut's boot in shot
