A "deeply personal" set of images filmed by NASA astronauts which includes the first ever selfie taken in space has been restored after years lying locked in a vault in Houston.
They capture moments from the early years of space travel, including Ed White on the first US space walk and Buzz Aldrin taking the first selfie in space.
Scans taken from footage of the Gemini and Mercury space missions have been restored and made public for the first time in an exhibition at Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire.
Andy Saunders, who spent thousands of hours painstakingly restoring the images, said he hoped they would "shine a light on this incredible era in history".
Mr Saunders said the image of Ed White, who was the first American to walk in space, was recovered from "really underexposed film" which had been locked away in NASA's space centre for decades.
