yea 10-4 ,
this is the best image taken from the LM's position showing the Surveyor craft ?? WHAT ?
history.nasa.gov...
nice clear image isn't it ?
:shk:
116:22:29 Frame from Pete's 12 o'clock pan showing the deep shadow on the eastern wall of Surveyor Crater and, as indicated in a detail, the sunlit solar panels on the Surveyor III spacecraft on the left. Compare with the corresponding frames from Pete's 4 o'clock pan, AS12-46-6746, and his 8 o'clock pan, AS12-46-6769. The body and legs of the Surveyor are in shadow. Note the two overlapping craters on the sunlit, southeast inner wall of Surveyor Crater. Note, also, the blocky rimmed crater just outside the LM shadow in the foreground. These blocks may be ejecta from Surveyor Crater which was buried by regolith sprayed onto the site by other impacts and was then brought back to the surface for a second time (at least) by the impact that made the small crater. As Pete mentions at 118:27:12, he mistakenly took the pan at 15-foot focus instead of 74-foot focus.

An opinion by John Lear
The daytime sky on the moon is not black.
It could be yellow. It could be blue. It could be red.
But it is not black.
The reason for the lie “the sky is black on the moon” is that if it were yellow or blue or red or another color then that would mean the moon has an atmosphere through which the sun rays shine, turning the sky a color.
And if the moon has an atmosphere then it has gravity which holds the atmosphere in place.
If it has an atmosphere and gravity then most everything you have been told about the moon is a lie.
And you have been told a lie.
The atmosphere on the moon is not as dense as on earth but there is wind; there are clouds, lakes, rivers, vegetation and everything else that comes with those things. And it’s the ‘everything else’ part that made the lie so necessary.
Of course these things are not on the side of the moon that you can see, by design.
From the moment it was discovered that the moon had an atmosphere unbelievable amounts of time, money and effort were expended to protect the lie.
Film. Color film, black and white film, still cameras, movie cameras, all had to be engineered to promote the lie. Hollywood movie-type sets had to be built for the Apollo missions because they had to be sure that no accident in filming on the lunar surface was able to catch the color of the sky.
Color photographs were changed through a series of inter-negatives to turn the sky black. Technicians labored literally hundreds of thousands of hours to doctor photos of the moon to turn the sky black, and to eliminate offensive material.
Accidents like the t.v. camera on Apollo 12 being accidentally pointed towards the sun and rendering it useless were engineered to prevent any chance the sky would be filmed in its true color.
That’s why the discrepancy in shadows on many of the Apollo pictures: many scenes were filmed on a set and careful enough attention was not paid to the direction of the shadows cast by the different lights.
Oh we went to the moon alright. Its what we found there that was such a secret. A secret, it was determined, that had to be kept at all costs.

the Moon is brown
Earthset from Zond 7 (August 11, 1969) Zond 7 flew past the Moon, taking this sequence of images of Earth setting behind the lunar limb, on August 9, 1969. The sequence actually consists of only three images; the second one was simulated from data in the others to even out the Earthset sequence.

It's suppose to show the Earth setting, not rising.

Why do you say that? Are you expecting to see changes from one photo to the next in a sequence like that, that lasts just some seconds to make?
is in fact just ONE single image of the earth copied in different positions of the various strips..... a complete flop show....
But they show a brown Moon, were they faking the colour and the Moon is really grey?
hmmmm..... the russians too?

That doesn't mean that they didn't have three images, the same tool applied to similar looking images would produce the same result.
Yes, if I didn't I wouldn't say (write) it.

I see I wasn't clear enough.
different captures having exactly the same pixel leak
No, quite easy, actually.
impossible

No, I mean that the edge of the subject (the Earth) doesn't change between photos, they photos were taken with little time between them, so there's no noticeable change in the image.

There are many things that can explain the slight colour changes, and it's no surprise f those colour changes were not large enough to do not affect an eventual use of the bucket fill tool (it can usually be used to replace colours based on hue or luminance, for example)
anyways... how are the colours of the continents changing?
Why do you post four photos, didn't you read that they only took three photos and one of those (the second in the sequence, I think) was created by averaging (or something like that) the other photos?

the second one was simulated
the image has been modified to make it better fit on a computer screen. www.planetary.org...
What I think is that the original photos, after being converted to digital format already looked like that, we can see that the lower left area is slightly darker than the rest, so it's natural that conversion to a digital format would create those "ridges",
Originally posted by mcrom901
so are you suggesting that the observed ridges at the lower section of earth were as it were captured by the camera?
or secondary artifacts?
What I am trying to refute is the idea that those four images are just one, like you said on your first post about this image:
your above explanation is on the basis of 'image manipulation' itself.... the very point you are trying to refute...
i don't think it's too difficult to notice that the above image which is supposedly showing the earth-rise in 4 separate captured frames..... is in fact just ONE single image of the earth copied in different positions of the various strips..... a complete flop show....
Because the time between photos was too short for any difference to be noticeable, either on the cloud coverage or even the rotation of the Earth.
i think 'averaging' was done on the rest as well....
why is it that we have the same artifact on all 'three' pictures?
I'm sorry...."fake"??
You really need to take a pill and calm down....
It is an absolute fallacy that you spout these accusations, (and get 'stars'??) about photos that, AT MOST, have been enhanced/retouched...purely for commercial and asthetic reasons.
Unless that is your defintion of "fake" ....in that case, just about every supermodel you see in a magazine, or in Playboy, would qualify too! But the way you state it, the readers' impressions (as you most likely intend) may be different....as IF the entire image was "faked" from the outset.
I consider that to be duplicitous on your part.....
(I'm still wondering why no one has mentioned that Photoshop did not yet exist in 1969? Is someone going to allege that the Russians were able to "fake" images from their spacecraft Zond 7 ???
Just what sort of image-altering technology DID they have 40 years ago??)
