Neil Armstrong piloted the lunar module to the moon’s surface on July 20, 1969. A story in Sunday’s A-section named the wrong person.

A story in Tuesday’s Observer about Statesville native Tom Marshburn’s first spacewalk misquoted the words of Neil Armstrong when he stepped onto the moon in 1969. Armstrong said: "That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." Also, Marshburn’s name was misspelled in a caption.

A photo caption incorrectly identified the astronauts meeting with President Obama. They were from left Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong.

Michael Collins stayed aboard the command module in orbit around the moon while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface and walked on the moon. An story on Page C1 of Sunday’s Journal Star incorrectly stated Collins’ role in the first moonwalk 40 years ago.

A story on Monday’s Page A6 about UW-Madison research on moon rocks correctly noted that Harrison "Jack" Schmitt was the last man to set foot on the moon. Schmitt followed fellow astronaut Eugene "Gene" Cernan onto the surface during the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. When the pair left, however, Schmitt stepped onto the Apollo Lunar Module first, making Cernan the last man to leave the moon.

An article on Tuesday about people who believe that the Moon landing was a hoax referred incorrectly to a picture in a feature on the Lens blog at nytimes.com. As correctly noted in the feature, ”Dateline: Space,” the photograph of an astronaut standing on the surface of the Moon shows Buzz Aldrin — not Neil Armstrong. (Mr. Armstrong took the picture.)

And, of course, there are also these two related corrections from the Times.

In a list of 144 celebrity graduates of Bay Area high schools, baseball great Joe DiMaggio was included as a graduate of Galileo High School. He attended Galileo, but left before graduation. Cartoonist Robert Ripley attended Santa Rosa High School, but also left before graduation.

And:

In a list of 144 celebrity graduates of Bay Area high schools, the wrong high school was listed for pro football player Rhett Hall. He graduated from Live Oak High in Morgan Hill in 1987. Also, football player Ernie Nevers attended Santa Rosa High but finished high school in Wisconsin.

A photo Sunday was misidentified as that of Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford. The photo was of Meryl Streep and Redford in “Out of Africa.”

Idol impostor: Those old enough to know were quick to let us know we should have known better than to mix up Janet and Vivien Leigh in a photo caption (The Millers’ tale, West Weekend, page 18, February 7). Vivien Leigh (real name Vivian Hartley) – once wife of actor Laurence Olivier and dual Oscar winner for her roles as Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind and Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire – was not related to Psycho star Janet Leigh (real name Jeanette Morrison), who was once married to actor Tony Curtis.
