Today:
On this day in 1969, millions of people on the Earth watched as one man, Neil Armstrong, became the first person to visit the Moon. Tonight the Moon won’t rise until after midnight, doing so in the east-northeast at around 1:50 AM, and somewhat surrounded by 3:15, with Venus below, Aldebaran to the lower right, and Capella farther to its upper left.
