Experts can determine that they are almost certainly the objects that were taken to Apollo 11's Eagle landing compartment, on their journey to the surface of the Moon on July 20, 1969.

According to the Washington Post, the camera is a device that captures the moment Armstrong set foot on an outer space object then with a famous quote: "This is a small step of a human being, but a human leap. species".

"Tools and bags, also known as the McDivitt Purse, are said to have not returned to Earth and stayed on Eagle," Needell wrote on February 6. The team thought that the astronaut seemed to intentionally bring this bag when he returned.

Cameras, belts, hooks, lights, mirrors and many other tools in Neil Armstrong's bag can be displayed in the near future.
