''In the [[mirror universe]], the [[Terran Empire]] landed on the Moon, planting a flag there to signify their achievement. It is not known if the individual was the mirror counterpart of Neil Armstrong.''

In the [[24th century]] there are over 50 million people living on the Moon. In Earth [[slang]] people who lived on the moon were called [[Lunar schooner]]s. The occupants of Luna were aware of this but chose not to use the term on the moon.
[[Dorian Collins]] was born on Luna in the [[2350s]].
In the 24th century, the Moon possesses a lake, called [[Lake Armstrong]], visible from Earth. Since [[Dorian Collins]] said one still needs [[environmental suit|suits]] to travel on the moon's surface, it is unlikely that this means the Moon possesses an atmosphere. Rather, it appears the lake must exist within an enclosed dome.
===Depictions in In the Apollo program===Luna was a central theme in the [[assignment patch|mission insignia]]s for the [[Apollo program]] in the 20th 24th century. The first depiction of Luna was in , the program's insignia. The insignia depicted the path of the [[spacecraft]] from Moon possesses a launch site in [[Florida]] to a landing site somewhere on Luna. Sun god [[Apollo]] was drawn into the features of Luna. As each mission grew closer to landinglake, the features of Luna became more detailed with cratering and suggested the ship either orbiting above or landing on Luna. By ''Apollo 15''called Lake Armstrong, the lunar features were the dominant image of the insignia. The last lunar mission, ''Apollo 17'', suggested that the program was the first step in man's progression to the stars with Apollo looking beyond Luna to [[Saturn]] and to a distant [[galaxy]]visible from Earth. === Other information ===When attempting a lucid dream to contact a species of aliens, [[Chakotay]] used the image of the moon to alert him to the fact that he was dreaming. Chakotay saw the moon three times – once outside the {{USS|Voyager}} from the [[mess hall]], once on a monitor screen in [[Cargo bay|Cargo Bay 2]] after he'd apparently woken up to warn him he was still asleep and under the aliens' control, and once more on the main [[viewscreen]] in the [[bridge]] when he dozed off and was slipping back into the aliens' grip.

Amongst the Moon's most striking features are the ''maria'', vast dark and flat plains formed by basaltic upwelling or lava flows. In one such mare, ''Mare Tranquillitatis'', or the "Sea of Tranquility", lies the site of the first Human landing on the Moon, [[Tranquility Base]].
