Description
Apollo 11 Moon landing. Artwork of NASA's Apollo 11 lunar module LM-5 Eagle landing on the Moon's surface. Apollo 11 was the first manned lunar landing mission, touching down at 2017 UTC (universal time) on 20 July 1969. Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin were in this module, becoming the first men to walk on the surface of the Moon. Michael Collins stayed in lunar orbit in the command module Columbia. The Eagle comprised both a descent and an ascent stage. The ascent stage was used to transport Armstrong and Aldrin back to Columbia, leaving the descent stage behind on the Moon's surface. Both the Earth and the Sun are also shown here.
