A large-scale fold-out map of the moon with infographics is displayed from the February 1969 issue along with the article "Frontiersmen of the Space Age", offering an imaginative view of a colony of humans living and working on the moon. Publications such as National Geographic Magazine educated readers about the science of NASA's celestial target while contemplating the future of space travel. The media in 1969 became enamored with the beauty and mystery of the moon. So far, the only definitive conclusion is that the moon is in fact not made of cheese! Compton, moon rocks were collected for scientific study of the moon's composition and whether it could harvest life.

As featured in Where No Man Has Gone Before: A History of Apollo Lunar Exploration Missions by William D. While some things were left to stay, other things were taken with our astronauts back to Earth. The astronauts left behind mementos of their historic trip, including: the American flag, a commemorative plaque, and a goodwill message from leaders around the world on ultra-microfiche disc. Reynolds's book Apollo: Epic Journey to the Moon, as captured by Armstrong of the Sea of Tranquility's East Crater (note his shadow featured in the bottom left hand corner). One stunning panoramic view is featured in David W. Grolier, showing the peaks and valleys upon the lunar surface where the astronauts roamed during their visit. One such colorful map is on display, called Geologic Map of Apollo Landing Site 2 by Maurice J. The landing site of the Apollo 11 is on a basin called the Sea of Tranquility, which is located near the middle right side of the moon visible from earth.

Scientists have mapped the geographic surface of the moon over time. "Read you Loud and Clear!", Sunny Tsiao, 2008.

On display are pictures of key moments in the journey, including a log kept by crew of NASA's command center recording events as they happened. Touchdown occurred at 20:17 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) with Aldrin and Armstrong piloting the Apollo Lunar Module "Eagle." A few hours later, Armstrong's boot touched the lunar soil and he proclaimed: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." His words became ubiquitous throughout the world.

Items on display illustrate a time line of different Apollo missions throughout the 1960's and 1970's. Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972, also spurred advances in many areas of technology incidental to rocketry and human spaceflight, including avionics, telecommunications, and computers. The Apollo program, also known as Project Apollo, was the third United States human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which succeeded in landing the first humans on the moon on July 20th, 1969. The wonder and excitement of that moment has stayed with us for 50 years as we continue to look up at the night sky and contemplate where we will go next in the cosmos. In July 2019, the Library revisited stories in books, newspapers, and periodicals of the day of the men who went there as well as the people on the ground. Younger generations may only remember the stories their parents or grandparents shared about how they heard that Americans had physically touched the moon for the first time. The world experienced the Jmoon landing in different ways either sitting in front of a television screen, listening to fuzzy radio broadcasts, or seeing the words "Man on the Moon" in big bold type face across the front pages of newspapers everywhere.
