Man’s first landing on the moon was accomplished at 4:17p.m. today 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. Left behind on the lunar surface by Aldrin and Neil A. Armstrong, Apollo 11 commander, were a Passive Seismic Experiments Package and a Laser Ranging Retro Reflector.
