The yellowing strip-chart Apollo 11 seismogram the article has an image of

It has been annotated with various events, including the registering of
Aldrin's footfall after he has deployed the unit and walks away as well as
the vibrations of PLSS #1 and then PLSS #2 hitting the lunar surface
after both are tossed out the hatch to save weight prior to ascent.
