"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." is probably one of the most famous phrases in the history of space flight. It was spoken by the American Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong on 20 July 1969 at 22:17 CEST, after the Lunar Module Eagle successfully touched down on the surface of Mare Tranquillitatis (Sea of Tranquillity). Every bserver who takes a trip to the Moon with his telescope should make a detour to this historical site, in order to get as close as possible to the events of the time - at least visually-speaking.
The two craters Sabine (30 km) and Ritter (29 km) will serve as the starting point for our tour of the scene of the first manned Moon landing. They appear to be an almost-identical pair in the south-west corner of Mare Tranquillitatis. A gap of just a few kilometres separates the two impact craters. In both craters, the walls have largely slipped into the interior.
Sabine and Ritter also seem to have a very similar interior floor: lava-filled, relatively flat and with some broad concentric elevations. To the north of Ritter, the two satellite craters Ritter C (14 km) and Ritter B (14 km) are equally close together.
The so-called Tranquility Base, the exact landing point of the Lunar Module, was officially recorded on lunar maps as Statio Tranquillitatis in the 1970s. Three small craters in the vicinity were named Aldrin, Collins and Armstrong in honour of the three Apollo 11 astronauts. Sabine and Ritter are perfect for visually locating where the landing occurred. To do this, extend a curved arc from Ritter B, Ritter C, Ritter and Sabine towards the east. If the seeing is good, Aldrin (3 km) will be the first of the three craters that you come to.
Eagle Landing Park offers 6.21 acres of wooded bluff with an interpretive trail that winds through majestic trees and native undergrowth. Looking up, you may encounter a bald eagle perched high in the treetops. Continuing on, the trail terminates at a view point overlooking Puget Sound.
In the early 1900s, the land known as Eagle Landing Park belonged to the Branson family. The Branson property was a nine-acre wooded waterfront residential lot and was a portion of a 200-acre parcel owned by the Seahurst Land Company. Springs on this land supplied water to local residents.
In 1915, a relative of the owner built a residence in the northern portion of the property, which was upgraded and expanded in the 1930s. A county road through the property was planned, but never built, and has been vacated since 1935. The property was logged a century ago, when much of the timber in Burien, Seahurst, and Gregory Heights was felled to supply wood for America's Liberty Ships in World War I.
The steeply sloped property sits on top of two geologic units (glacial lake clay and silt below and glacial outwash sand and gravel above) deposited during glaciation of Puget Sound in the last Ice Age. Springs trickle from the hillside at an elevation of about 50 feet. The area has a long history of slope instability, according to oral history and the topographic features of the site.
Burien assumed ownership of existing King County Parks in 1997. In 2001, the City adopted its first citywide Parks, Recreation and Open Space plan, expressing Burien's desire to add more shoreline property to its park network. The highest-valued land acquisitions were those providing open space, wildlife habitat preservation, and access to natural resources.
In February 2000, Seahurst residents brought an eight-acre site on Puget Sound to the attention of the City. The site included 247 feet of undeveloped shoreline with no seawall (rare for this part of Puget Sound), two acres of tidelands, and six acres of wooded uplands. Acquisition of this site was supported by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, City Council, and Seahurst Community Club. The City Council voted to finalize acquisition of the Branson property in April 2002.
By 2000, the Bransons had already divided the property into two parts. The City of Burien bought the southern part from the Branson family in 2002 for $954,866. An additional $824,135 was spent to develop the park. The firm of MacLeod Reckord Landscape Architects was selected to work with the City to develop a recommended plan for the park's construction.
On June 15, 2005, Governor Mike Lowry (Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition), Mayor Noel Gibb, Martha Wyckoff (Trust for Public Land) and Emelie McNett (Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Chair) were the featured speakers at the Seahurst's official opening. Lowry, a longtime member of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition, was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony, which attracted more than 50 people on the sunny spring day.
Following a brief ceremony, guests were led on a tour of the path to the beach, which included a stop at the eagle viewing area where they saw the eagles that make their home in the tall trees that overlook Puget Sound. Guests climbed down the 257-step metal stairway and explored the pristine beach.
From July 3, 2019 through August 7, 2019, a special featured document display relating to the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing is in the East Rotunda Gallery of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC.
July 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. On July 20, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong and Astronaut Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo lunar module, Eagle, and spent the next 21.5 hours on the lunar surface, while Command Module Pilot Michael Collins orbited the Moon.
The Apollo Program had a shaky start. On January 27, 1967, during a launch pad test simulation for Apollo 1, the interior of the command module caught fire and killed all three astronauts on board. Congress took action against NASA and removed two high-ranking executives from office, and NASA did not run a crewed mission again until Apollo 7 on October 11, 1968.
The Apollo 11 mission was launched from Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida, near Cape Canaveral on July 16, 1969, at 13:32 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Atop a Saturn V rocket, the three astronauts inside the command module blasted off toward the Moon.
Saturn V rockets consisted of three distinct stages. The first stage, S-IC stage, carried the rocket to an altitude of 42 miles, to a speed of 6,164 mph, and burned 4,700,000 pounds of fuel. It then separated and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean more than 300 miles from the space center.
The second stage, S-II stage, propelled the craft to an altitude of 109 miles, to a speed of 15,647 mph and placed the rocket into a low-earth orbit. It then separated and splashed down in the Atlantic.
The third stage, S-IVB stage, sent the spacecraft to a velocity of 25,053 mph and completed the trans-lunar injection. (Trans-lunar injection is a propulsion maneuver used to set a spacecraft on a trajectory that will cause it to arrive at the Moon.) This final stage then separated from the remaining spacecraft, which included the command module, Columbia, and service module.
Shortly thereafter, Collins performed the transposition, docking, and extraction maneuver. This maneuver consisted of turning the command module around and docking its nose with the lunar module, which was located in the upper portion of the S-IVB stage of the Saturn V rocket. This maneuver was unique to the Apollo missions.
But after November 8, I swore off signs. I had been so wrong about the election; I doubted my abilities. I had misread the enthusiasm gap. I had ignored the total lack of Hillary signage and swag. I had even dismissed the vandalism of my own Hillary sign in Provincetown as a mere prank.
For some people, coming out for Hillary was as awkward and hard as coming out as gay. I ignored that. I let it slide that there were just four of us at a Hillary headquarters in Tampa, Florida, the weekend before the election and that every other call I made from my authorized phone bank list was not in service.
As I rummaged around trying to find my old bird-watching binocs, I looked up just as an even larger, flashier eagle landed on top of the water tower. Both faced out to the Hudson. Not to get too anthropomorphic on you, but the birds seemed grateful for the earlier light of the morning and for what I imagined was an awesome view of the river.
I could have read all kinds of signs into those eagles. They were signs of renewed national pride. Or signs of survival from endangered species status. Or signs of birds displaced and buffeted by the crazy, unpredictable wind shear of Hurricane Donald. But some early spring mornings, eagles are just eagles.
In 1969, NASA published a map showing candidate Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 landing sites. The map was based on photographs taken using large Earth-based telescopes. The map above, based on an LROC global image mosaic, is a near-copy of that historic map. Red dots represent the five candidate Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 landing sites as of February 1968. Yellow circles represent the final three Apollo 11 target sites. The green circle marks Site 2, the Apollo 11 prime site in Mare Tranquillitatis, where the Lunar Module Eagle actually landed [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
To reach Mare Tranquillitatis, Apollo 11 lifted off from Cape Kennedy, Florida, on 16 July 1969. If the mission had not been able to launch on that date, its next opportunity would have occurred on 18 July. Launching on that date would have led to a landing at Site 3, within an ellipse centered at 0.42N, 358.67E in Sinus Medii, near the center of the nearside hemisphere. Failure to launch on 18 July would have meant a 21 July launch and a landing at Site 5, within an ellipse centered at 1.67N, 318.33E in Oceanus Procellarum.
The three Apollo 11 sites had much in common. They were very near the equator, pocked with small craters, and relatively flat, with slopes generally no steeper than 2. At no site would the descending LM, flying in from the east, pass over mountains or large craters that could confuse its landing radar. On landing day at all three sites, it would be in the early-to-mid morning of the two-week-long lunar daylight period. The low morning Sun meant that boulders, crater rims, and other obstacles would cast long shadows, making it easy for the LM crew to see and avoid them.
