On July 20, 1969, around 11:40 p.m. EDT, the scene depicted in one of the most iconic photos ever taken unfolded. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Aldrin were more than 110 hours into the historic moon landing mission when they planted a U.S. flag. Video of the event was broadcast to millions back on Earth.

Photos of the U.S. flag planted on the moon have been topics of conversations concerning patriotism and conspiracies ever since the world first saw stars and stripes on the lunar surface. However, the flag probably isn't still standing. The working presumption at NASA is that the flag fell, said John Uri, manager of the Johnson Space Center History...
As expected, hoisting a flag presented NASA engineers with a number of technical problems, Anne Platoffwrote in a paper in August 1993for NASA on the history of the Apollo 11 flag. Because the moon has no substantial atmosphere, NASA scientists led by Jack Kinzler designed a horizontal crossbar to support the flag and keep it from drooping down, Pl...
Many say the flag in the photo looks like it's flowing in the wind. Conspiracy theorists cite this as evidence the moon landing was filmed in a warehouse with air conditioning creating the ripple. That's false. The horizontal crossbar was supposed to give a slight wavy effect as in a breeze, Platoff wrote, and Aldrin and Armstrong said they had tro...
The flag was among various commemorative items that Aldrin and Armstrong left on the moon's surface. A stainless steel plaque noting the feat of the first manned moon landing, a silicon disc with messages from world leaders in tiny text and a small pouch with an Apollo 1 patch, medals honoring two Soviet astronauts and a small gold olive branch wer...
As Armstrong put it, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." When Aldrin and Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, they left well-defined footprints created by the outer boots of their spacesuits.

Yes. Though the moon's surface is mostly made up of the fine regolith, various rocks are scattered throughout. The white specks seen in the background of the photo are probably lunar rocks reflecting light. The astronauts found two main types of rocks at their landing: basalts and breccias, according to the Universities Space Research Association. ...
When people think of what it would be like in space, they might conjure images of a star-filled expanse. Though the stars are definitely there, none is visible in Armstrong's photo. Conspiracy theorists who say NASA fabricated the moon landing cite this as evidence; however, there is a scientific explanation. "The only time the astronauts really sa...
The lunar module, the spacecraft Aldrin and Armstrong used to get from the main command and service module in lunar orbit to the moon's surface, is seen in the top left of the photograph. There were no external lights brightening up the photos and video taken of the mission. The light comes from sunlight and reflections off the moon's surface, the ...
Each piece of the astronauts' spacesuit is meticulously designed and serves a very specific purpose. What's in the square pack on Aldrin's back? The Personal Life Support System, or PLSS, according to Cathleen Lewis, spacesuit curator at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. "It provided oxygen, carbon dioxide cleaning, suit cooling, ele...
