Moon Landing Photo

Hey, cool post, I'm just curious if anyone knows why they named the mission's to the moon "Apollo"? Isn't Apollo affiliated with the Sun? Sorry if off topic just thought someone here might know? Thanks

So i took the OPs instructions to get to the image, after palying arond with the image, i used a colour dodge effect, which bring areas of different colours out, and i got this:

I did post more but i didnt spell the confirmation code properly, and it deleted my whole post, but thats basically what i was showing the readers.

It ALMOST looks like a tree line.. I'll take the heat from the skeptics. But that's just my opinion.

I saw something on this. They were using a huge crane to do the scenes with. It was like a shipyard crane. They had a big fake surface and black netting up, the kind of netting at a golf course. Anyway, I agree with you and it looks like the tree line behind the crane too. I'll try to find that movie again. You ever notice in the scene where the guys are skipping on the moon singing "in the merry merry month of May"? In that scene the astronaut says, "in the merry merry month of December", then chuckles and says, "Oh wait it's may"..."haha". I know that the shoots according to the movie I'm talking about was shot in December. Peace

The moon revolves around the Earth about once per month. It rotates on its axis at the rate of about one rotation per month. This is not a coincidence or a conspiracy. The moon is tidally locked with the Earth. If the moon did not rotate (or if it rotated at a different rate) all points of its surface would be visible from Earth at some time.

i don't want to doubt this as it seems very interesting, however; it could be the the junk data from turning the files into digital. But I wouldn't think it would make such varied shapes, :/ but depending on how the original image quality they could have been alot of junk in the black of 'space' what the scanner could have picked up on.

hey, no problem.

I've never believed that picture myself. The 'pudding shape' appears to go WAY below the horizon, very near his position.

I was using that picture to better explain the shape of the objects in the painting that a former astronaut did shortly after comming back to earth.

Cheers for your comment though, I agree that that perticular image doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

It's amazing this thread gets so much attention. Those are artefacts, not "hills"..sheesh...

You obviously ain't been around long enough

Its not that amazing, TRUST me

Ever seen one of John lears moon threads (gasp, dare i say his name )

I think he holds the record for the looOOOngest thread ever. Currently 264 pages.

There are MANY anomalies on the moon. Keep an open mind dude, shooting a hundred bullets at a target gives you a better chance of hitting on something big

I personally LOVE the way something gets Torn Apart!! and done to DEATH here on ATS. It allows every aguement, crazy OR logical,...for OR AGAINST, to come through, so all angles are covered.

Thats my opinion anyway..

Rambled on a bit there sorry 'bout that

Cheers

It's only cool if people learn from it, instead of bringing it up over and over again and using it as proof the governments out to get us or something.
It's only cool if people, who are not experts, listen to the people who are experts, or at least work with pictures like these on a fairly regular basis and have established it's picture artifacts from compression, instead of trees or cities. ( Apparently, we also have trees and cities in the shadow caused by the lander. )
In that instance, all it is is the same nonsense getting drug up over and over again.

If anyone knows the painting of which i speak, any HELP in finding it to post here for comparison, would be wickedly appriciated

This maybe?

Hi everyone, I'm a 47 year old man, almost 48. I believe that man has really been to the moon. I was a boy when man first landed on the moon. I believe that the Russians and the people of the United States after defeating the Nazi and Adolph Hitler in WWII used the technology being used in Hitlers rocket program and kept furthering and developing the project. The Russians and Americans were engaged in a competition to see which could reach the moon first. Well, the United States won! I believe the Russians might have been the first people in space, but the United States were the first on the moon. But they all owe it to the Nazi and Hitler. They used the same fuel that propeled the Nazi and Hitlers rocket weapon. To stray off the topic a little, there is a certain German made car, I wont say the name for legal purposes, but these cars are in the world today as a result of Hitler ordering that a practical and economical car be built for the German working man. Many many people in the United States and elsewhere in the world, drive these today.
Now to the interesting point, upon returning to the earth from the moon, from one of the moon visits, one of the United States astronauts said, "The taxpayers really got their moneys worth this time!" Or something like that. Perhaps they are not allowed to say too much to the general public, I think. But that much said has had my brain spinning to this day. The statement lead me to believe that they had discovered something wonderous. Now what, I don't know. Did they see an alien ship while on their visit to this planets moon? Maybe evidence of some construction, on the moon? Here is my joke: If those greys crashed one in Roswell, and they crashed one on the moon too, they must be some drunk drivers! Hey, if they are going to crash on our planet, please aim for the ocean and away from any boats please. And drive a little slower!
But on a serious note, I suspect that many people know, more than they are allowed, to tell. Maybe sometimes they wish they could tell us, but can't, so in the case of this astronaut, slipped out a little tiny discrete hint for those of us intelligent enough, to pick it up. So we are taxpayers, we got our moneys worth, but we still don't know exactly how. I want to personally believe, that their ship was investigated by an alien craft, either going or coming back to the earth.
Now I am someone who has seen UFOs. I haven't exactly seen an alien, but I have seen a UFO. When I was driving in the North Carolina mountains with a friend we saw these gold sparks going across the sky, and there was this black disc ahead of the gold sparks. The sparks stopped and then the black disc took off at a "one oclock" angle at an absolutely amazing rate of speed, into space from where these gold sparks stopped. I can't believe that the United States Airforce has anything that can do this and if so, my hat is off to them. I believe that what my friend and I saw, was an alien spacecraft.
Who knows, I certainly don't know. Maybe from Venus. Maybe from Mars. Maybe from Saturn. Maybe from Jupiter. Maybe from some solar system, galaxy or something other, even further away. I certainly don't know, because as like human beings I believe these aliens know more than they are willing to tell, or are allowed to tell.
Maybe, just maybe, in my opinion and mine alone of course, the truth was told first in Roswell but then they decided to cover that up, even if it took the next two hundred years.
Anyway, greys or no greys, our world is a crazy, crazy place. I mean with underground atomic testing by the Russians, above ground detonations of atomic bombs by the United States, with the use of Atomic bombs on two cities in Japan and with the underwater testing of a hydrogen bomb in the pacific ocean (we all better be glad that a great big giant three headed turtle didn't come up speaking in t

I did not read all of the replies. But here is what I got. The link from the OP provided a photo that showed those digital artifacts when one processed the photo by brightening and contrasting beyond mondo. And that was interesting but I thought it was due to the photo being in the digital realm and one never knows what's going to happen as opposed with dealing with emulsion film/negative which won't yield anything that is not in the negative. IOW, you can't add anything to the emulsion. But you can with digital.

Here is what else I found. I got a copy of the same photo from the lpi and this time the foregournd was not bright white but more a mustard or brown color. I processed it again ramping up the brightness and contrast and this time the pattern in the background and in the shadow of the lander was another pattern as opposed to the bright white photo.

So, in my opinion as not an authority on digital photography, but that is what we're seeing when using a digital photo. It could possibly be done with any photo that has a black background.

No mystery, but interesting nonetheless.

what about the blue streak in this photo

Looks like a scan problem..

reply to post by rezial666


Looks like the light catching on the camera lens, you have that happen on occasion.Might also be something streaking by, there's debris in space.

Having the all of the post (which I rarely do)

I'm glad that other people have come to the logical answser that I myself held as soon as I got to the first page of the thread.

This is all an effect of graphical manipulation. Conversing file types, reserving colours, adding brightness and then re-saving. I suggest that unless you are looking at an image that has been taken only 1 step away from an original RAW file then you are looking at nothing just noise.

There is not point is trying to over analyse something that has lost all of its original photographic evidence.

As soon as you have an image that is made of more than 16 colours and you convert the file type, as you zoom in to see each pixel, new shading takes effect. All you are seeing is compression.

Great find OP - and you got Internos involved well done !
- By the way those photos look doctored to hell.
Just slightly off topic -

and i'm sure it's been covered before but where are the shadows for the flag?
AS11-40-5875 - same page as the Ops photo - can't find the shadow or in this one either AS11-40-5886 is it me ???

Everything else has a shadow ??????????????????? Is it me ???

Heres what I got using Photoshop and the curvemeister 3 filter.All I did what adjust the brightness.

Here is one photo from Apollo 12. Lunar surface (AS12-49-7294). Maybe reflection, but reflection only above horizon. Maybe Klingon mothership?
