Forty years ago today, inside a Culver City movie studio, the lunar module parked on the alleged surface of the Moon, and out came a couple of guys who made history as the first human beings to land up there. The first one to emerge from the pod was Neil Armstrong, who made some sort of famous quote about baby steps and giant leaps and kind men, followed by Buzz Aldrin. Michael Collins, sadly, had to keep the engine running by orbiting above as the two men played with each other on the moon's surface.

SF Citizen's Jim Herd snapped this amazing shot of last night's Jupiter, Venus, and moon sighting from Golden Gate Park. This planets were visible from all around the world last night. Did you catch it? Hope so. Because it won't be happening again until 2052.
