Why are there no photographs of Neil Armstrong on The Moon? That’s a question I often get. As a former Navy pilot, I was curious about the lack of photographs of Neil Armstrong. Buzz Aldrin, who captured the image, later described Armstrong as one of the “best pilots I’ve ever worked with.” He’d flown over 200 aircraft, including the Apollo 11.
Apparently, the astronauts didn’t bother taking photographs, as the moon’s gravity was only a sixth of that of Earth. As a result, the lunar landing wasn’t traumatic. Most of the photographs of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon show Armstrong walking on the surface of the moon, while Aldrin’s famous photo shows only Armstrong pointing to a pale blue dot in the visor of his helmet.
One of the most remarkable photos of Neil Armstrong on the Moon is the picture taken by Buzz Aldrin, which was used on the cover of LIFE magazine. Although Armstrong is not seen in the photo, his reflection can be clearly seen in the astronaut’s visor. In all, there are over 74 photographs of Neil Armstrong taken by NASA during the Apollo missions, including twenty-four that have never been publicly exhibited before.
Despite the fact that there is a lack of visible stars in the photograph of Neil Armstrong, there are still many conspiracy theories based on the moon landing. One such theory is that the photographs were faked. A photographer might have taken a picture on the Moon, but his camera would have been too fast to capture the faint light of stars. Moreover, the moon’s surface is also brightly lit, which would have obscured any stars in the photograph.
