The SMART-1 team has released an image of the Apollo 11 landing site:
http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEM1O6BUQPE_index_1.html for the 37th anniversary of the landing. In the release, they label two craters as Aldrin and Collins, with a mention of a third crater, Armstrong, off frame. It is my understanding that one has to be deceased in order for surface features on other worlds to be named after you... -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

... and an on-topic reply for once - remember all that stuff at the start of the mission (from the stupid media, not the mission team, I think) about how SMART-1 would image the old landing sites and prove the landings were real? Not at this resolution!
