VIDEO: Apollo 11 Final Approach to the Moon
The first attempt at a manned lunar landing took place in July 1969. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin, and Michael Collins would repeat the Apollo 10 mission. But when the Lunar Module reached the point 50,000 feet above the lunar surface, the descent engine would be fired for twelve minutes and the crew would attempt to land on the moon.

Apollo Space Missions
Link Celebrating 45 years since the first landing on the Moon on July 20th, 1969!Starry Night Enthusiast 7 accurately simulates the trajectory of nine Apollo missions, including Apollo 11 landing on the moon, July 20th, 1969!
The lunar trajectories of the nine Apollo missions, which flew to the Moon and back during the 1960's and 1970's, were calculated by analyzing official archived NASA data. By leveraging the sophisticated technology that powers all Starry Night software, Starry Night Apollo allows space enthusiasts to view the moon and celestial objects just as they appeared decades ago - emulating the Apollo crew's actual space travel experience.
'The historic Apollo missions are an indelible part of the American experience and psyche,' said Seth Meyers, COO of Simulation Curriculum Corp. 'Generations remember Neil Armstrong's 'one small step for man,' and with Starry Night Apollo, millions of space enthusiasts are able to vicariously experience these important space missions with precise, true-to-life simulations.'
Software highlights include:
- • Interactive Multimedia SkyGuide Tour of the historic Apollo Lunar Program
- • Accurate, 3-D models of the Apollo Spacecraft, including Saturn V, Command Service Module and Lunar Module
- • Inbound/Outbound and Ascent/Descent trajectories for authentic reenactment
- • Star sightings for simulated spacecraft alignment and guidance
- • Inflight photos taken by the astronauts from spacecraft windows
- • Ability to zoom in on Earth and the Moon throughout flight
- • Real or accelerated flight time experiences
- • Apollo landing site maps trace the footsteps and roving vehicle rides the astronauts took
THE STORY OF STARRY NIGHT
Starry Night Version 7 64-bit
Vincent van Gogh painted Starry Night in 1889 during his stay at the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Van Gogh lived well in the hospital; he was allowed more freedoms than any of the other patients. If attended, he could leave the hospital grounds; he was allowed to paint, read, and withdraw into his own room. He was even given a studio. While he suffered from the occasional relapse into paranoia and fits - officially he had been diagnosed with epileptic fits - it seemed his mental health was recovering.
Unfortunately, he relapsed. He began to suffer hallucination and have thoughts of suicide as he plunged into depression. Accordingly, there was a tonal shift in his work. He returned to incorporating the darker colors from the beginning of his career and Starry Night is a wonderful example of that shift. Blue dominates the painting, blending hills into the sky. The little village lays at the base in the painting in browns, greys, and blues. Even though each building is clearly outlined in black, the yellow and white of the stars and the moon stand out against the sky, drawing the eyes to the sky. They are the big attention grabber of the painting.
