Someone suggested that lunar dirt accounted for the anomalies (Ref. 1) seen on U.S.flags on the Moon. The explanation is impossible, because all Apollo astronauts carried out their activities on the Moon in daylight (Ref. 2), when the temperature is about 100 degrees C. (Ref. 3) and the flag would be bone dry. No moisture could have been left on the flag to adhere any“dirt” to the flag.
Quote from Ref. 2:“In the Apollo 11 press conference, Neil Armstrong states that he was “never able to see stars from the lunar surface or on the daylight side of the moon by eye” [6] Stars were visible with the naked eye only when they were in the shadow of the Moon. All of the landings were in daylight.[7]”
Quote from Ref. 3: “Temperatures on the moon are very hot in the daytime, about 100 degrees Centigrade. A single “day” on the moon lasts about 28 Earth days, meaning the lunar daytime is nearly two Earth weeks long.”
