I think what you have there is a picture of the Deep Impact probe striking the comet, or at least the results thereof.
Deep Impact researchers have received some data from orbital and ground-based observatories, most of which report an increase in Tempel 1's luminosity after Impactor crashed into it...
It was like hitting a brick wall; the crater exploded, creating a second, even brighter flash.
An incandescent plume of gas and dust, heated to thousands of degrees and glowing like a bulb, flared like a Roman candle into space, throwing a dark shadow onto the surface of the nucleus. Then a cone of dust and debris rose from the crater and spread like a fan, brilliantly lit by the sun. Scientists with the Hubble Space Telescope estimate that it traveled 1,100 mph, twice the speed of a commercial jet.
Over the next 15 minutes, observers on the ground and in space -- from the Hubble to Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton - watched the faint comet, 83 million miles away, grow four to five times brighter.

I don't blast anyone, I merely showed that NASA and others know full well that there is an atmosphere, and I most certainly know that John thinks that it is breathable for a short time... And I answered you that I personally do not know this for a fact at this time...
But your right actually it doesn't help that I come in here LOL It truly is a waste of time...

Yikes...sorry, Implosion. I re-read my posting and it sounded pretty acidic. Definitely not intended. I apologize.

John Lear, (or anyone else inclined to offer an opinion)
The Russians are saying they plan to have a permanent Lunar outpost manned by 2015. The Americans are saying they plan to do the same by 2024. The Chineese are also hoping to get into the game. When these posts become operational do you think the current "operations" on the moon will be disclosed to the public (in a more official manner than here on ATS) or continue to be covered up?
According to this recent UK Telegraph story the American are rebuffing the Russians in terms of cooperation on any lunar missions. Why do you think that is, especially when the Russians seem to think they can get there first?
If NASA or parts of NASA knows the true charateristics of the moon, Doesn't it seem likley that Roskosmos also knows this?
Are all these grandious lunar outpost plans just more misdirection and disinformation?
Where is all the He+3 currently being mined on the moon being sent and what's it being used for?

This is great. A new way to try and twist the vast amount of viable resources John has allready provided.
If he is a disinfo guy its the first truly lousy job the man has performed(see his faa service record). I mean what disinfo guy provides real and undoctored Nasa and Russian images and then daily provides all kinds of one on one insigt(posts)? Most of us serious about the truth see much of what he has stated on the moon and the hush Gov complexes in the World and then continues to provide even more info?
The problem is people dont want to believe the real truth and some folks are paid to debunk or nullify by any means any credible references who have bucked the horrid and appauling system of deciet by our criminally minded at times govt. This is what John and other distinct pilots and astronauts,officials,workers,etc.. who have echoed very similar stories as John.
Time will tell I suppose and I cant wait for the day when the shadow Govt at the control of all this is held accoutable by us or others.
For moon annomolies its no simpler than downloading some early moon images from nasa or even their world wind viewer,spending some time and using a good photo enhancing program and boom you have some parts of a story that Nasa and others would Love to leave out of their playbook.
John has 100% credibility with me as I had heard of the pilot John Lear long before ATS and his earlier coming out of the black shadows with his moon and alien accounts.
The funny thing is he's way more credible than 95% of you and I and for that matter those employed by our Govt. if you want to boil it down.

This is beginning to sound like your infamous centrifugal force fairy tale. Thanks.
There is none on the moon.
Obviously, however, you never learned anything about it. Therefore it's not my fault, that the concept of so-called pseudo forces in non-inertial frames of reference is at least three levels above your understanding of physics. I'm definitely not wasting my time by trying to explain it to you.

I just have to point to pictures NASA or the Lick Observatory has taken. You can trot out all the 'scientific' references you want but the fact is I have photographs and you cannot explain them. (Lick Observatory January 17, 1946).
But in that frame of reference () please refresh my memory: what is the neutral point between the earth and the moon (as stated in 'distance from the moon') in miles? Thanks.
In reality, the moon does not revolve around the earth. Both earth and moon revolve around their common center of gravity. What is a center of gravity? Think of it this way: If the earth and moon were connected by a stick, at what point would you have to hold your finger to balance the stick? That's the center of gravity. Since the earth weighs much more than the moon, the center of gravity of the earth-moon system is much closer to the earth than to the moon. In fact, it is so much closer to the earth that the center of gravity (shown by the X in the diagram at right) is actually inside the earth - about one-third of the way in.

Yes, that is what you say. However my question was do you have an example, not necessarily on the moon, but on earth, for example, of what crater erosion looks like so that I know what I am looking for.
