No Dirt Could Exist On U.S. Flags On The Moon
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 anydirt to the flag. Ref. 1: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/lin440315/21627377 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/lin440315/21627515 Ref. 2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examina...nce_of_ stars 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] Ref. 3: http://www.space.com/14725-moon-temp...ays-night.html 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. Read more at http://www.wretch.cc/blog/lin440315&category_id=0 |

Static charge let dust cling to *everything*, including the flag and the suits. This became a real problem since the astronauts carried loads of dust into the LEM. The dust also was crazily abrasive and began to damage things quickly.

Behn Static charge from solar wind resulted in "a layer of suspended dust about one meter above the lunar surface." (Ref. 1). However, the anomalies on the American flags were about two meters high (Ref. 2). Anyway, the American flag decal (about one meter from the ground, Ref. 3) on Lunar Module showed no signs of soil/dirt/dust/particles in this image: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/Hi...34-20469HR.jpg Ref. 1: fifth line in abstract of this NASA article: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/ca...010034552..pdf Ref. 2: http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?...044315525&p=78 Ref. 3: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/Hi...13-18340HR.jpg |

Read more at http://www.wretch.cc/blog/lin440315&category_id=0 I did my thesis on particle charging and lunar dust in direct sunlight in vaccuum is ideal for charging and being attracted to a wonderful dielectric surface like a synthetic flag. If there was NOT dust on the flag, I'd be suspicious. This environment is so well suited for particle charging that such charging is proposed to be used for transport of large volumes of dust for industrial purposes. You'd expect the dust to best cling to dielectric surfaces like space suits and flags. It would cling less to conductors which would bleed away the charge. |
