Apollo astronauts planted American flags on the Moon- 50 years of unfiltered sunlight may have bleached them into blank white cloth

While the flags may appear white now, they stand as a testament to the moon's unforgiving environment. Images show the flags' poles remain standing, a surprising resilience.
