BASIC INFO

Luna is Earth's natural satellite. Luna's surface is marked by various geological features, including impact craters, mountains, valleys, and maria formed by ancient lava flows. Its lower gravity, about one-sixth that of Earth, has made it a target for exploration, with manned missions, such as the Apollo program, successfully landing astronauts on its surface between 1969 and 1972. Luna's gravitational influence also plays a crucial role in stabilizing Earth's axial tilt and affecting ocean tides. Studying Luna continues to provide valuable insights into planetary science, lunar geology, and the history of our Solar System.
