Today we"re celebrating small steps and giant leaps—it"s International Moon Day. This day honours the legacy of the Apollo 11 mission. Initially celebrated as National Moon Day in the United States, the day was recognised globally by the United Nations in 2021. Human civilisations have gazed at the sky for millennia, contemplating the origins and mysteries of the moon. The advent of space exploration transformed the moon into the target of numerous missions.
