International Moon Day is observed annually on July 20, commemorating humanity's achievements in lunar exploration. This date marks the anniversary of the first human landing on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the lunar surface. The United Nations designated this day to highlight the significance of lunar exploration and to promote peaceful space cooperation. The resolution to establish International Moon Day was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2021.
