We’ll tell you about those Moon conspiracy theories and what’s the fact

NASA

Theory 1: Flag planted on moon should not be rippling, because there is no air

Fact: The flag was fastened to a Г-shaped rod. The flag was rippled because it had been folded during storage and gave the impression it was blowing

Theory 2: No stars visible in the Moon photos

Fact: All landings happened during the lunar daytime. The faint glow of stars were outshone by the sun in the photos

Theory 3: Footprints in Moondust are preserved despite the lack of moisture

Fact: Moondust do not weathered in absence of wind. This allows the dust particles to stick together and hold their shape in the vacuum

Theory 4: Why the shadows run diagonally? With the sun as the only light source, all shadows should run in parallel

Fact: Sun isn’t the only source of illumination on Moon. Another source is the lunar ground, which reflects the sunlight

Amid growing conspiracy theories, NASA released a fact sheet in June 1977 and mentioned about the rocks taken from the lunar surface as a proof of the moon landings
