Conspiracy theorists also question the shadows in the Moon landing photos, as they seemingly point in multiple directions despite the Sun being the only light source.
Experts have attributed the shadow anomalies to the rough, uneven terrain on the Moon, which can cause shadows to appear at different angles.
The popular science-based television program MythBusters tackled the Moon landing controversy in 2008, per Space.com.
Using a scale model with uneven terrain, miniature astronauts, and simulated sunlight, they demonstrated that non-parallel shadows could naturally occur on the Moon’s surface.
