Tranquility Base (Latin: Statio Tranquillitatis) was the name given by American astronaut Neil Armstrong to the landing site on the moon where the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle made the first moon landing. Technically these are the first two words spoken from the surface of the moon. The lunar coordinates of Tranquility Base are 00°41′15″N, 23°26′00″E, which is located in the south-western corner of the lunar plain called the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis) near the craters Sabine and Ritter, and a rille unofficially called 'U.S. Highway Number 1'.
