Meet my sweet boy, Apollo.

Anytime I’m on the couch, Apollo needs to be as close to me as possible.

Just 85,000 km away, yet a whole world apart. Captured by the Apollo 15 crew in 1971, this breathtaking photo of Earth reminds us how small we are in the vast cosmic sea. #Apollo15 #EarthFromSpace #CosmicPerspective #NASAHistory

Ever wondered where humanity and our robotic explorers have actually landed on the Moon? This map shows the historic touchdown sites of some of the most iconic lunar missions — from the legendary Apollo landings, to robotic Surveyor probes, Soviet Luna landers, and China’s recent Chang’e missions. The U.S. Apollo program (1969–1972) sent 12 astronauts to walk on the Moon — a feat still unmatched. NASA’s Surveyor missions helped test landing tech before the Apollo era. The Soviet Union’s Luna landers were the first to impact, orbit, and soft-land on the Moon. China made history with Chang’e-3 and Chang’e-4 — the first to land on the Moon's far side! Each dot on this Moon map represents years of planning, incredible science, and the dream of exploring beyond Earth.
