Did Neil Armstrong really land on moon?? If you say yes....Then read it THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE Issue 1 : Since the Moon has only one light source, the Sun, the shadows must be in line. But in this cases, it looks as if there are multiple light sources in moon, which is not possible Issue 2: The foreground of many images of the astronauts on the Moon are filled in with light, while the shadows remain absolutely black, again proving that there are multiple light sources. Issue 3 : There are no stars in the background from pictures taken on the Moon. Issue 4 :  In some images, a huge light source can be seen reflected in the astronaut's visors.

Amrita Saxena, the mother of the child, said it was difficult for her to believe that her son broke the world record, until a family friend convinced her.

Then I was asked to submit certain documents after which his name was in the Guinness World Records," added Saxena. Doctors attending to the child informed the mediapersons that it was a rare phenomenon and diagnosed it
