The Apollo 11 space flight landed the first humans on Earth's Moon on July 20, 1969. The mission, carried out by the United States, is considered a major accomplishment in human exploration and represented a victory by the U.S. in the Cold War Space Race with the Soviet Union.
Launched from Florida on July 16, the third lunar mission of NASA's Apollo Program (and the first G-type mission) was crewed by Commander Neil Alden Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed in the Sea of Tranquility and became the first humans to walk on the Moon. Their landing craft, Eagle, spent 21 hours and 31 minutes on the lunar surface while Collins orbited above in the command ship, Columbia. The three astronauts returned to Earth with 47.5 pounds (21.55 kilograms) of lunar rocks and landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24.
Surface Of The Moon
The dark and relatively featureless lunar plains which can clearly be seen with the naked eye are called Maria (Latin for "seas")
The colored light over the lunar surface is called "mountain" (terrae) or sometimes simply called the "plateau" because it was at the height of more than a sea.
Motion Of The Moon
The Sun-Moon angle is the angle defined by Sun & Gt.; Earth >Moon with Earth as the angle vertex. As the Sun-Moon angle increases we see more of the sunlit part of the Moon. If we drawing were to scale, then the Moon would be half this size and its orbit would be about 22 times larger in diameter and the Sun would be about 389 times farther away than the Moon.
Summary
The surface of the moon is a reflect to the sun because the moon is cover by a dust that reflect to the sun light and the setter everywhere. Therefore, we can see creamy white moon. The moon does not have atmosphere, so the light is brighter than the earth.
I did research about moon,because i think that the moon which we see everyday is something that we need to know.
It is the nearest planet to earth.Sometime i also wondering that is there a rabbit on the moon?, but in real way,of course,
we can't find a rabbit on a moon.
It's wonderful.
