 ARMSTRONG, NEIL  Neil
Alden Armstrong (1930- ) was the first person to walk on the moon. He piloted
NASA's Apollo 11 mission, which took off on July 16, 1969. Armstrong and Edwin E. (Buzz)
Aldrin, Jr., landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, in the lunar module (landing in the Mare
Tranquilitatis), while Michael Collins orbited the moon in the command module. Upon his
first step on the moon, Armstrong said, "One small step for man, one giant leap for
mankind." Armstrong and Aldrin explored the Moon's surface for about 2 hours. Years
earlier, in 1966, Armstrong and David R. Scott performed the first successful docking of
two vehicles in space on the Gemini 8 mission.HOW SIGNIFICANT ARE WE???? CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT!!!!! Powers of TenView the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

The Planets
The nine planets that orbit the sun are (in order from the sun): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. A belt of asteroids (minor planets made of rock and metal) lies between Mars and Jupiter. Easy ways to remember the order of the planets are
the mnemonizzas" and "My Very Easy Method Just Simplifies Us Naming
Planets" The first letter of each of these words represents a planet - in the correct
order. |
