Do you know who scanned that image? Judging by the dust and the marks that look like someone tried to clean the scanner before using it, I think it wasn't an expert.

Yeah I suppose those image experts just haven't a clue how to clean that scanner plate....
The problem is that the difference is not that big, the stars appear as a point of light, the dust on a scanner glass, if round (and that is the only way of differentiate them at first) appears as a point that reflects the light, so they basically look the same.
Surely there must be some difference between how a point of light records on film compared to a scanned bit of dust. If we can identify that difference, we can then reevaluate the images in question...
That is an interesting challenge, I will see what I can do.
Are you up to the challenge? I trust your integrity to do this fairly

No, this is immense.
That is a hurricane at Saturn's south pole. You could fit the Earth in there. So I am guessing the edge of atmosphere follows the opening curvature of the supervortex.

I respectfully request that if you post anymore Saturnian hurricanes you preface the post with, "Here is some more BS from NASA." Thanks very much.

That could be a lot of things. I see what you're talking about though. Did you see the face just to the right of the object in that one zorgon? Thought that looked like a peekaboo to me.
As for the thing I last commented on, let it be said that it's just my opinion, based on the image that I've been provided with. If there's better evidence in that area that can shed some light on the situation, then post away. I just can't see what was posted as being anything but a crater.

You're a funny guy! At least I hope you are.

With all due complete respect, would you guys mind please keeping this thread on topic. It's annoying to have to read about Mars and out of body experiences in a moon pictures thread.

These are some great photographs, but some of your comments are rather off the wall. I respect your information and your insight, but some of these comments left me scratching my head thinking, "is this guy serious?". I'm left with the feeling that you are in fact joking around, but with so many people wanting to know more, this might not be the best plan of action.

True but would not a point source of light likely be more clear an well defined and a reflection of dust be more out of focus?
Like the photo on this article? I think that it depends on the lens, after all the stars are just balls of light.
Also I do not know if this applies in Apollo photos but I have seen stars exhibit an asterism[sp?] effect in other photos while must scanned dust looks like fuzzy blobs
