Four decades after the last astronauts landed on the moon and planted an American flag in lunar soil, scientists wondered: 'Does that star spangled banner yet wave?'

在最後一名宇航員登陸月球並在地面插上美國國旗四十年之後，科學家在想：“星條旗依然舞動着嗎？”

The most recent photos of the moon taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera show that the flags still exist - except the one planted by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin after they became the first humans to touch the lunar surface July 20, 1969.

美國航天局月球勘測軌道飛行器照相機最新照片顯示，國旗仍然矗立着——除了尼爾·阿姆斯特朗和巴茲·奧爾德林插下的那面國旗不見了，他們於1969年7月20日成爲第一個登上月球的人類。

The conditions on the surface of the moon are harsh. Temperatures swing between 250 and -280 degrees Fahrenheit.

月球表面條件惡劣。溫度早晨可達到242華氏度，晚間可達零下280華氏度。

It was feared the flags would be lost due to the rough lunar environment.

有人擔心惡劣的月球環境會致使國旗丟失。
