The Moon is the Earth's solitary natural satellite, roughly 384,000 km (239,000 mi) away. It has roughly 38,000,000 km2 (15,000,000 sq mi) of surface area, and is not believed to harbor any life. The Moon is the only natural object in space outside the Earth that humans have landed on, but manned lunar landings ended in 1972. However, the United States's Artemis program is working toward new landings in the late 2020s.
