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.

Japan’s Private Moon Landing Mission Ends in Another Setback

On June 5, 2025, ispace’s Resilience lander lost contact just under two minutes before its scheduled soft landing in the Moon’s Mare Frigoris region. Preliminary analysis points to a malfunction in the laser rangefinder, causing the spacecraft to descend too quickly and resulting in a "hard landing."

This marks ispace’s second failed moon landing attempt, following a similar crash in 2023.

Resilience carried a small rover named Tenacious, developed by ispace Europe, along with several scientific and artistic payloads — including a deep-space radiation detector, a hydrogen extraction system, and even a miniature house intended as an art installation. Unfortunately, none of these survived the crash.

Despite the disappointment, ispace is pressing forward. The company is preparing two more missions for 2027, featuring a significantly larger and more advanced lander known as Apex 1.0, weighing 2 tons. These upcoming efforts aim to contribute to long-term lunar exploration and the development of sustainable activity on the Moon.

Heads up, stargazers! June 2025 is packed with stunning sights in the night sky — mark these celestial events on your calendar:

June 10 – The Moon Meets Antares�The nearly full Moon will pass directly in front of the bright red star Antares — visible as a dramatic occultation from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and parts of Indonesia. Elsewhere, they'll appear as a striking close pair in the sky.

June 11 – Full Strawberry Moon�The final full moon of spring in the Northern Hemisphere rises! Traditionally called the Strawberry Moon, it’s a bright and beautiful lunar event you won't want to miss.

June 17 – Mars and Regulus Conjunction�Look west after sunset to spot Mars cozying up to Regulus, the brightest star in Leo. They'll appear like a celestial double star — visible from both hemispheres.
June 19 – Triple Treat in the Morning Sky�A slender crescent Moon joins Saturn and Neptune in a rare predawn alignment. Grab your binoculars or a telescope and look east just before sunrise.

June 27 – Boötid Meteor Shower Peaks�This slow, gentle meteor shower is unpredictable — sometimes quiet, sometimes bursting with surprise activity. Best viewed after midnight under dark northern skies.

June 29 – Saturn and Neptune Conjunction�Another beautiful early morning event: Saturn and Neptune will appear close enough to share a telescope view. Catch them before dawn for a planetary double feature!
