NASA scientists say the Moon is moving away from Earth and shrinking but still under the influence of Earth's gravity.
The image from the US Lunar Reconaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft indicates that flags brought by the spacecraft on the moon exist, except for the Apollo 11 flag.
The latest series of images from the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) shows five of the flags astronauts plugged into the moon still standing today.
The latest series sent by the spacecraft shows the traces and objects left by American astronauts on the moon during landings from 1969 to 1972.
Although it is considered geologically dead planet, Mercury was very excited by the activity of numerous volcanoes on the surface a few billion years ago.
