The Moon - (FILE) -- Man's first landing on the Moon was accomplished at 4:17 p.m. on Sunday, July 20, 1969 as Lunar module "Eagle" touched down gently on the Sea of Tranquility on the east side of the Moon. Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module Pilot, removes scientific experiment packages from a stowage area in the Lunar Module's descent stage.
