Moon-Earth question

Greetings to all...

When the first moon landing accurred in July, 1969, and the astronauts
looked back towards Earth, what continents did they see?

Thanks in advance!

lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go

My advice is to post this question to sci.space.history. Those folks
will know and could probably tell you how many times Buzz blinked while
looking at them into the bargain.

In the lunar sky Earth was at an altitude of about 60 degrees due west at
the instant Armstrong set foot on the Moon. Earth was just before its last
quarter phase and presenting the entire Pacific Ocean with Australia just
entering from the west and the Americas exiting in the east.
By the time the astronauts re-entered the LEM 2 hours later eastern Asia
was entering the west Earth limb.
