While there may be actual proof we have landed on the Moon, some conspiracy theorists still refuse to believe it ever happened.

Well, the fact we have photographs from five different countries may just convert those moon landing denier.

Over 50 years ago now, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made history as they became the first individuals to step foot on the moon.

Armstrong said his iconic 'one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind' quote, and he was closely followed by Aldrin - and let's not forget their lesser-known colleague, Michael Collins, who orbited the moon while the other two planted the American flag.

It truly is one of the biggest moments in contemporary history, though some people to this day find it difficult to believe such an event ever happened.

Such conspiracy theories seem to annoy the folks over at NASA, who have spent many years offering proof the moon landing did indeed happen.

National Space Centre Discovery Director Profesor Anu Ojha said during a lecture in Greenwich in 2019: "We find ourselves awash in an ocean of information online.

"There has been more data produced in the last two years than in the whole of human history. This information ocean is getting more turbulent every single day.

"The only tools we have to navigate through this maelstrom are the critical thinking skills that we are trying to develop in people as scientists."

In fact, the remains of the Apollo 11 lander were photographed by five different countries, which seems to disprove any moon landing deniers among us.

The US, India, Japan, China, and South Korea all took individual pictures of the Apollo 11 remains, with the snaps recently circulating on Reddit.

"The remains of Apollo 11 lander photographed by 5 different countries, disproving moon landing deniers," the Redditor who posted the pictures said.

An image of Armstrong and Aldrin's shadow that is floating around on the NASA website is one many moon deniers point to proving the landing didn't happen.

Conspiracy theorists argue that if the sun was the only light source, then the shadows should be parallel, but that is not the case with this image.

Well, an expert has since come out and explained why this is not exactly the case.

Prof Ojha said: "This is on the surface of the Moon, but we can reproduce this effect any time we want to on Earth.

"You have all seen this phenomenon yourself, where, because of perspective, parallel lines appear to be non-parallel.

"If you are trying to reduce on to a two-dimensional plane a three-dimensional situation, you can make lines do all sorts of weird things. Artists have been using this for centuries."

  • Conspiracy theorists claiming photo is proof moon landing was a 'hoax'
  • Comparison of Moon landing video from 1972 and 2023 has people shocked at which is 'clearer'
  • NASA's rarely seen moon walk footage is 'triggering' people to question if any of it was real
  • Insane cost it took to put man on the Moon shows why US hasn't done it again since
