The Sky Above Neil Armstrong at the Moment of Death

Person · 1930–2012 · Time uncertain

The record

• Date of death: 2012-08-25
• Time of death (local): Time uncertain — The family statement gave only the cause; no time of day appears anywhere in the reporting. Date and place are documented; the time is not.
• Place: Fairfield (Cincinnati area), Ohio, United States

The exact time of death is uncertain. Our rule is to publish nothing rather than guess — so no star is computed for this case.
