AO’s connection to the moon goes beyond Apollo 11. We were there when the dream of space travel became a reality and we were there when man’s first steps on the moon were taken. We celebrate the moon in all of its phases, including those rare moments when our own planet overshadows it, reflecting our light to turn the moon a deep red.

Throughout history, a blood moon signifies a time to reflect on your own journey, to let go of what’s holding you back and explore your wildest dreams. No special equipment is required to view a blood moon, just gaze up at the night sky.

Wear a Piece of History

1969

The Original Pilot, then called the FG-58, became the first sunglasses on the moon, worn by the entire Apollo 11 crew. Each pair were part of survival kits to provide astronauts protection should they land in tough terrain when returning to Earth. A pair from the moon mission is now on display at the Smithsonian.
