They did it, President Kennedy’s dream come true, as thrilling today as it was 50 years ago. #Apollo50 #NationalMoonDay

Looking back, landing on the moon wasn’t just our job, it was a historic opportunity to prove to the world America’s can-do spirit. I’m proud to serve the country that gave me this historic opportunity. Today belongs to you. We must hold the memory of #Apollo11 close. #Apollo50th

After 8 days, 3 hours, and 18 minutes… 🚀🇺🇸 Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Mike Collins returned to Earth from their lunar landing mission. The heroes splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, southwest of Hawaii. 🌕🌎#Apollo50th #Apollo11 #NASA #science

What a day!!
Nostalgia came over me today when standing exactly where we launched 50 years ago at the @NASAKennedy Space Cnt on #Apollo11 to complete a mission set forth by John F. Kennedy to land man on the Moon and return him safely. I am happy to stand here today to say: Mission Completed

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.

Awesome!!
Neil Armstrong: “That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind.” As these words were spoken 50 years ago now, history was made. From then on, we lived in a world where humans had set foot on the Moon. Celebrate the #Apollo50th anniversary: go.nasa.gov/2JGcR8H

Fifty years ago, humans took their first steps on the Moon. The world watched as we made history. This week, you can watch us salute our #Apollo50th heroes and look forward to our next giant leap for future missions to the Moon and Mars. Tune in: go.nasa.gov/2XCwqXW

Some processing on one of the images taken during our shoot at the Allen Telescope Array that is used by @SETIInstitute. The bright point in the sky above the dish is Jupiter. #space #astronomy #SETI #astrophotography #milkyway

The correct answer is the Andromeda Galaxy, which is 2.5 million light years away from our galaxy, known as the Milky Way. Learn all about galaxies here: nationalgeographic.com/scien…
