Picture of the day
The
Moon
is the only
natural satellite
of
Earth
. During the
ancient
period, it was not uncommon for
cultures
to believe that the Moon
died
each
night
, thus descending into the
underworld
. As late as the
1920s
(or so), it was believed that the Moon might have a
breatheable
atmosphere
. In
1969
,
Neil Armstrong
and
Buzz Aldrin
became the first humans to land on the Moon.
