Moon Flags

A Chinese space probe has lifted off from the surface of the Moon to return to Earth, an ambitious effort to bring back the first lunar samples in four decades.

Senior Maharashtra BJP leader Ashish Shelar on Monday made a controversial comment against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his party, Shiv Sena, over "aligning with people whose flags had the moon and star" on it.

Chandrayaan 2, India's second attempt to land on the moon's surface, is the most complex mission ever undertaken by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). With this lunar exploration mission, India looks to create history reaching closest to the moon's south pole and unravel its mysteries. The lunar spacecraft, with an orbiter, lander Vikra...

Twitter users shared what they would like to take to the lunar surface, with most of them mentioning the national flag.

Three rovers, six US flags, dozens of probes that either landed successfully or crashed, tools, cameras and trash: the Moon is dotted with hundreds of objects as a result of space exploration.

Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin walked on the moon, gathered rocks, planted a flag, rocketed home to Earth and splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean. After three weeks in quarantine (to prevent a purely hypothetical moon-germ contagion), the three Apollo 11 astronauts got their ticker-tape parade and eternal glory.

Buzz Aldrin, the second man to land on moon, is not happy as an upcoming film, 'First Man' based on the Apollo 11 mission, won't showcase the planting of the American flag on the lunar surface.

Containing over 2,000 items, the collection will go on sale in a series of three auctions with the first in November 2018 and other two in May and November 2019.

It may be just one step for a small startup, but it is a giant leap for India's space program. Team Indus, a private company that wants to be the country's first to send a rover to the moon and plant the flag Indian flag on its surface on Republic Day January 26, 2018, has bought a ticket aboard a 320-ton giant rocket, bringing it closer to its goa...

Launched in September from Virginia, LADEE crashed on the far side of moon as originally planned, safely away from Apollo relics like flags, rovers, plaques and footprints.

Four decades after America's last landing on the Moon, new images from NASA's camera have shown that all flags except one planted during Apollo missions are still standing and waving despite the harsh lunar climate. All six flags except the one planted by Neil Armstrong during the first ever Moon landing are still standing, according to an analysis...

California's catalog of historic artifacts includes two pairs of boots, an American flag, empty food bags, a pair of tongs and more than a hundred other items left behind at a place called Tranquillity Base. The history registry for New Mexico lists the same items. That might be surprising, since Tranquillity Base is not in New Mexico or California...
