Ranger VII approach to the Moon

Ranger 7, an unmanned U.S. lunar probe, took the first close-up
images of the moon—4,308 in total—before it hit the lunar surface northwest of the Sea of Clouds. The images were 1,000 times as
clear as anything ever seen through earth-bound telescopes.

In July 1969, two Americans walked on the moon in the first
Apollo Program lunar landing mission.
