Tranquility Base was named by Aldrin and Armstrong, and first announced by Armstrong when the Lunar Module Eagle landed. It is located in the south-western corner of the dark lunar plain Mare Tranquillitatis ("Sea of Tranquility").

Can you see Tranquility Base from Earth?

Apollo 11's Tranquillity Base is, as its name suggests, in the Sea of Tranquillity, Mare Tranquillitatis. The dark lava of this 700km diameter sea is easily visible to the naked eye, but a telescope is required to explore the vicinity of the landing site.

Where is the Apollo 11 lunar module now?

When it returned to the United States, it was reunited with its descent stage, modified to appear like the Apollo 11 Lunar Module "Eagle," and transferred to the Smithsonian for display in the National Ai rand Space Museum's Lunar Exploration Vehicles gallery.
