Thanks to the rocket's red glare and the bombs bursting in air, we were able to see through the night, that the flag was still there.
If the U.S. flag is flown at night, it is supposed to be lighted.
Most countries have that 'rule' as flag protocol.
The light from the red glare you would be able to see it.
Yes the American flag is still on the moon

Through a dark night of war & captivity by the enemy, F.S. Key looked and the Flag was still flying, meaning that the British had not taken the fort & the war was not lost. It is Symbolism.

I believe so. I believe that Francis Scott Key wrote the words to the already popular melody after some of their men were kidnapped. I believe he was out on the water (maybe trying to rescue the kidnapped, I'm not sure) and after hours and hours of bombing, through the smoke he saw the American flag still standing there. "And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."
Enough light was given off by rockets and flares to see the flag, even though it was after dark.
You could look up, see the flag, and know the American Army was still waging war.
Yes. According to the US Flag Code, Section 6(a), Chapter 1, Title 4, United States Code states that the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.

The flag that flew above Fort McHenry lasted through an horrific bombardment. The fact that it was still there showed that the fort was still in the hands of the Americans.
Proper flag protocol says that the flag should not fly at night unless there are lights trained on it, then it's fine.
It is the oldest NATIONAL flag still in use - it is not the oldest flag.
If the flag of the United States of America is outside at night it should be illuminated.
