NASA robotic spacecraft orbiting the Moon
Independent, third‑party measurements and physical samples provide the clearest scientific proof that Apollo landed humans on the Moon: Apollo returned about 382 kg (842 lb) of lunar rock and soil tha...
The claim that the Apollo Moon landings were faked is a longstanding conspiracy theory that asserts the six crewed lunar landings (1969–1972) were staged by NASA; mainstream historical and scientific ...
The American flags planted during the Apollo missions are far too small to be resolved by any Earthbound telescope; at lunar distance . High-resolution imagery from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter...
Mainstream scientific and journalistic sources say the Apollo crewed Moon landings (six landings from 1969–1972) are real and supported by multiple independent lines of evidence — e.g., 382 kg of luna...
Apollo mission telemetry and ground tracking records — including onboard telemetry streams, ground-based recordings of slow-scan TV, and international radar/optical tracking — provide multiple, indepe...
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter’s camera system (LROC) has imaged all six Apollo landing sites at resolutions down to roughly 25–50 cm per pixel during low-altitude campaigns, revealing descent stages, r...
There is broad agreement in available reporting that Apollo 11’s flag was planted, briefly appeared to “wave” in TV footage because of handling, and very likely did not remain upright after the lunar ...
The Apollo 11 mission to the Moon in July 1969 occurred as a verifiable historical event supported by , and claims that it was staged lack credible support. Recent public attention sparked by celebrit...
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) returned high-resolution images that show unmistakable artifacts at the six Apollo landing sites — intact lunar module descent stages, ALSEP experiment packages,...
Twelve Apollo surface locations plus many smaller objects remain on the Moon — including descent stages, rovers, tools, scientific experiments and laser retroreflectors — and some of those items have ...
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) began returning images of Apollo sites in July 2009 and has since captured higher-resolution passes that show lunar module descent stages, rover tracks and, i...
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) images Apollo sites with the LROC narrow-angle camera (NAC) at pixel scales down to about 25 cm/pixel in low-altitude passes, and typical NAC images used for Apollo ...
The absence of visible stars in is a technical consequence of exposure and contrast choices made to record brightly sunlit lunar terrain and astronauts, not evidence of fakery . The apparent “flutteri...
Independent, non‑NASA observations — radio recordings by observatories and amateurs, radar tracking by multiple nations, laser retroreflector returns, and optical imaging from spacecraft and telescope...
Multiple lunar orbiters have imaged Apollo landing sites: the 1966–67 Lunar Orbiter series surveyed and photographed candidate Apollo sites (Lunar Orbiters I–V) , and NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbit...
The has returned high‑resolution images that show the remains of landing sites and, in most cases, the shadows where U.S. flags were planted — strong evidence the flagpoles (and likely some flag struc...
Recent high-resolution imaging from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and archived photographs from other missions have repeatedly identified hardware, footprints and surface disturbances at landing ...
Photographs from Apollo show no visible stars because film and camera exposures were set for bright, sunlit lunar scenes; the stars’ faint light simply did not register against the much brighter lit s...
Yes — humans walked on the Moon: Apollo 11’s crew landed on July 20–21, 1969 and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin conducted an extravehicular activity on the lunar surface, a fact documented by NASA mis...
Robotic imagery from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has photographed all six Apollo landing sites and shows shadows interpreted as flagpoles at Apollo 12, 16 and 17 while Apollo 11’s flagpo...
