The Apollo Landing Sites (all night)
The six crewed Apollo Missions were sent to different regions of the moon in order to carry out experiments and to bring back rock samples that help us determine the age and composition of the moon's surface. For safety reasons, Apollo 11 was sent to the flat and relatively featureless terrain of Mare Tranquillitatis "Sea of Tranquility" near the moon's equator (red line). Later missions landed in more rugged regions with complex geology. When the moon approaches its full phase, all of the sites where the astronauts explored are illuminated by sunlight, but no telescope on Earth is strong enough to see the equipment they left on the moon.
