Sea of Tranquillity or Mare Tranquilitatis, the landing of Apollo 11 which gave its first walk on the moon. Are you serious, walk? In the Sea of Tranquillity? Well, the Sea of Tranquillity is not a sea, so Neil Armstrong didn’t walk in water, actually, there isn’t a single sea on the Moon. Early astronomers mistook them as actual seas.


The Sea of Tranquillity was once thought to be an ocean. It appears dark when viewed from Earth, smooth and relatively flat.


The actual landing site of Apollo 11 is named as Satatio Tranquillitatis or Tranquility Base.
