The sun, too, was a burning rock that \u201cputs brightness into the moon\u201d. These beliefs got him arrested and exiled, but he stuck by them. No doubt Anaxagoras would have been delighted when, 23 centuries later, three US astronauts landed on the big rock.<\/p>\n<h2>Apollo 11<\/h2>\n<p>It was on 20<sup>th<\/sup> July 1969 that Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin touched down on the moon. It was, you\u2019ll recall, \u201cone small step for man, one giant leap for mankind\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Apollo 11 lunar mission, one of the most daring engineering feats ever pulled off, lasted exactly eight days,18 minutes and 35 seconds. That was 54 years ago, but it was only last year that the first International Moon Day was recognised.<\/p>\n<p>You may wonder why the moon needs its own special day. Well, sadly our only natural satellite is not immune from destructive human activity. \u00a0According to the United Nations, we need to ensure that moon exploration remains sustainable and peaceful. Indeed, the UN is so concerned about lunar safety that as early as 1967 the General Assembly adopted the \u201cMagna Carta of Space\u201d. The charter sets out principles governing the activities of states in the exploration and use of outer space.<\/p>\n<p>Article three states that \u201cthe moon shall be used by all States Parties exclusively for peaceful purposes\u201d and goes on to prohibit the use of the moon for threatening behaviour and mass destruction.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, see here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/observances\/moon-day\">https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/observances\/moon-day<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unoosa.org\/oosa\/en\/aboutus\/index.html\">About us (unoosa.org)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As long as we don\u2019t destroy it \u2013 or our own Earth \u2013 we\u2019ll continue to be fascinated by the moon, and all other celestial bodies. Countless films and dramas have been set on the moon or other non-Earth locations.
