Questions of the Week
Neil Armstrong photographed by Buzz Aldrin as Armstrong worked near the lunar lander The Eagle on July 20, 1969 

Look closely at the this picture, why do you think there are no stars visible in the sky?  Also, describe the environment that Neil and Buzz had to deal with on the Moon.

  2. I think the reason there are no stars in the sky is because the sun's light rays blocks out the stars light, similarly to the effect of stars in a city. The environment of the moon they had to deal with was rocky, and very little gravity.
