NASA | Tour of the Moon Although the moon has remained largely unchanged during human history, our understanding of it and how it has evolved over time has evolved dramatically. Thanks to new measurements, we have new and unprecedented views of its surface, along with new insight into how it and other rocky planets in our solar system came to look the way they do. | Astronomy Nation

One giant leap for mankind. Here's the history behind the first time we walked on the moon. 🚀🌑 | HISTORY

Astronauts walked on the surface of the Moon during NASA’s Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972. They collected rock and soil samples, set up scientific instruments, and studied the Moon’s surface in low gravity. Because the Moon has no atmosphere, astronauts wore special suits to protect them from extreme temperatures and radiation. These missions helped scientists learn how the Moon formed and how Earth evolved. One of the greatest achievements in human space exploration. 🌕🚀✨ #space #spacex
