One of my favorite pastimes on the web is browsing historic images both at the Library of Congress and the Life Archive via Google. On my most recent
excursion, I was flipping through some pictures from the 1960s when I can across some color images of the moon taken from Apollo 8.
One of them got my attention.
From there, I entered 'Apollo 8' as my search terms (in the Life Archive at Google) and found some more... one of them was nearly identical to the
first one except that it was turned upside down.
NASA has this little trick they do with lunar pictures and it is to rotate them, invert them, flip them over on their side. Ind to be sure, if you
flip a picture a certain way, you tend to lose your perspective.
The images here are the two I found. One is right side up, as presented and the other, flipped over to match the first. I have taken this set and spun
them every which way and this does, for my eyes, seem to be the best perspective.
One other thing; I won't tell you what I think I see. That's up yo you if you are interested in the sort of thing.

NOTES:
1. The pictures here were combined into a single image and compressed to 10% in JPG format. There may have been further compression in the upload
process to ATS... I really don't know for sure. But to get the uncompressed versions, follow the directions below to the originals.
2. The original images can be found by going to Google, clicking on the 'Images' link, then clicking the Life Archive link. From there, type in
'Apollo 8'. They were located on Page 4 and Page 9 of the results for my visit.

EDITS:
1. Replaced huge images with crops.
2. Removed unused coding.
