We watched the Apollo astronauts visit the Moon 50 years ago. We've sent a series of robotic explorers since. And now it’s time for the #Artemis generation. Let's go to the Moon. You ready? pic.twitter.com/wsYFaJ1KR7

During the roughly 3 hours that the #Apollo11 astronauts spent walking on the Moon, they set up instruments including seismometers & a device to characterize solar wind. These were the first of many science instruments that astronauts deployed on the Moon. go.nasa.gov/2zoXAn0 pic.twitter.com/1yEyv7jayF

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
50 years ago #OTD, Neil Armstrong took a step onto the Moon and made the people of Earth a multi-world species.
Happy #Apollo50th and keep on exploring. pic.twitter.com/9vGXV4oAva

On today's #Apollo11 anniversary, it’s important to remember the people and missions that paved the way - the successes and the setbacks. From unsuccessful robotic missions to the devastating #Apollo1 fire, #NASARemembers & honors the contributions and sacrifices along the way. pic.twitter.com/86fH8cDNDt

HOUSTON: Roger, Tranquility. Be advised there's lots of smiling faces in this room, and all over the world.
TRANQUILITY: There are two of them up here.

“The Eagle has landed.”
On 3:17 PM CT (Houston-time) on July 20th, the people of Earth breathed a collective sigh of relief.

For our final human landing on the Moon, Apollo 17 landed in the Taurus Littrow Valley – a valley about as deep as the Grand Canyon. #Apollo50th pic.twitter.com/R3LvVuuzvM

Neil and Buzz landed in the Sea of Tranquility, a cooled lava plain on the near side of the Moon. For our first visit to the Moon, we wanted something nice and flat, with relatively few craters and boulders. #Apollo50th pic.twitter.com/DzAa7Efl9v

We first visited the Moon 50 years ago, but we’ve never stopped exploring. This stunning visualization was made with data collected by our current Moon explorer: The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Enjoy your moment of zen. #Apollo50 go.nasa.gov/2M4qShR pic.twitter.com/scFElAFErQ

#Apollo11 was one step in a long line of space exploration. Each astronaut, engineer, scientist, ‘computer,’ custodian, seamstress etc from the start of @NASA to now has contributed to our understanding of our Moon, our Earth, & our place in the universe. go.nasa.gov/2fVCjtv pic.twitter.com/j416kUtr8Z

One small step. One giant leap.
50 years ago today, #Apollo11 astronauts Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to step on the Moon. Astronaut Michael Collins orbited above in the Command Module, which would return them to Earth. #Apollo50th nasa.gov/feature/50-yea… pic.twitter.com/1MaJEqmwjH

Imagine landing on an alien world. Remote and desolate. An unfamiliar landscape covered in gray dust. You look up and there’s not a cloud in the black sky.
50 years ago, Armstrong & Aldrin landed on the Moon, turning the stuff of science fiction into reality. #Apollo50th pic.twitter.com/GXQTviIzDs

The rocks & soil collected during the Apollo missions are still studied today. The samples have revealed a huge amount about the history of our solar system, Moon, and Earth. For example, the minerals & isotopes in the samples told us that the Moon used to be part of Earth

The difference in brightness between the Moon and stars is very different, so you can’t capture both in one photograph.

It has! Earlier this year @LRO_NASA took images of China's Chang’e 4 and Israel’s Beresheet. In the future, LRO will be able to image potential landing sites and active missions for commercial partners and other countries. You can see all the images here: bit.ly/2Yj6sIu pic.twitter.com/x9LbXvaCYK

Compared to Earth and other planets, the Moon has a smaller core relative to its radius. We believe that there are zones of partial melt within the Moon’s core, based on data from Apollo seismometers & gravity measurements from our GRAIL mission. The core is likely ~2500° F.

There are locations at the south pole that see the Sun for more than 80% of the time, so we will try to exploit that situation to our benefit. Having tracking capabilities integrated with our solar panels is an option that we’d look at as well.
