Why is #MoonDay celebrated on 20 July?

It observes the anniversary of the #Apollo11🇺🇸 mission of @NASA during which the first humans landed on the #Moon🌕.

Great #InternationalMoonDay thread about the robotic exploration of the Moon that paved the way for the Apollo landings – and that continues today.

[NASA Science @NASAScience_]

Research on @Space_Station helps us learn how to sustain human health in order to live and work in space. This is critical to support our return to the moon and future exploration! Happy #InternationalMoonDay!! 🌑

[ARCHIVED - NASA Moon @NASAMoon]

It’s #InternationalMoonDay! Today marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing – the first time that humans stepped on the surface of another world. This video from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the astronauts' tracks, still there after all this time.

Today Chandra is studying massive stars in Sagittarius. Nearby in the sky is the Little Gem Nebula — a star shedding its outer layers to form an eye-catching planetary nebula. Roughly half a light-year across, the nebula is enormous compared to its itsy-bitsy central star.

Start your celebration of #InternationalMoonDay and #Apollo11 with us tomorrow morning. #YesItsEarly #HowMuchSleepDoYouThinkNeilBuzzandMikeGotOnTheNineteenth? https://t.co/Ehxm0NKJxD

[FT Opinion @ftopinion]

The space around Earth is littered with 9,000 metric tonnes of debris, Nasa says. It can travel at more than 7km per second, almost 10 times as fast as a bullet. What will happen as space traffic rapidly grows and collisions multiply? https://t.co/zdSIBTu2m8

@balotofi Welcome to the SEPG family, Husseinat!

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

The opportunity to develop a new liquid rocket engine from a clean sheet is rare. Our team has already done it once with Rutherford, now we’re doing it for Neutron’s engines, Archimedes. Join the team as Director of Neutron Propulsion. https://t.co/swSUoJDEB2

Another exciting day at Starbase! Ship 20 has been destacked from Booster 4. 🤩🚀

At 4:15am ET this morning, our 322-foot tall, 3.5-million-pound #Artemis I rocket arrived at the launchpad.

Soon, teams will begin the final prelaunch test for the @NASA_SLS rocket, which will practice the launch countdown and the loading of fuel. https://t.co/4dhtzhyeNb
