Four decades after the last astronauts landed on the moon and planted an American flag in lunar soil, scientists wondered: 'Does that star spangled banner yet wave?' Finally new images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) have given proof in the night, that the flags are, indeed, still there. All but one of the six flags left by American astronauts remain standing, according to an analysis of the shadows they cast on the surface of the moon.
