Apollo14: unusual reflective objects on the ground at "Station B1".

Not one but two. Two unusual reflective objects at Station B1 caught by astronauts during their Extra Vehicular Activity. The objects seems metallics, reflective, and of really unusual same shapes. Digging in the Apollo14 Mission at Fra Mauro, I found this image directly from Google/NASA database.


This ONE...


And nearby...


The Other One reflective metallic object, that seems hover above lunar surface and cast shadow...

What they are?

They're rocks.

Why do you think they're metallic?

Sun reflection, my dear... sun reflection and shadow.

Nice theory about the floating object its a pity the shadow doesn't back it up, the light is from right to left what you think is its shadow would not be directly below it!

That's the shadow of the terrain closer to the camera than that object take another look!

No.
The shadows are right where they must be.

Remeber that these are two different shots.
Check directly.

WRONG

Look at the shadow of the rocks near the camera light is from right to left only one light source on the moon so if that object was above the suface all of the shadow would not be underneath.

What are the AS numbers for the images?

Anything from google is suspect until we see the originals.

WRONG

Sorry, but you have a different perspective on how the lighs/shadows works.
Thx for your opinion however, clear enough.

They look like rocks to me. Just my opinion.

The one you think is floating, looks like an optical illusion (as shadow created by dent in the surface then a slope behind it)

Object with red pointer furthest away, object with blue pointer closer what you may think is that objects shadow is from the terrain closer to the camera

Hmmm. Well... why don't you check directly?
You can find data in the first Image.

No I think you have to check the shadows on the pictures are clear to show light direction, that object is in the distance the shadows you think it causes are from objects closer than it is as shown by your close up picture posted!

This like a deflector... closed


And when open cast shadow underneath the object

reply to post by Arken


That is really weird!

I see what your showing us now.

The probe has a moving part thats making it hover and move ...

Sorry, but that grainy B&W picture you're looking at isn't even exposed properly, so anything you see in it is as much imagination as perception. If you look at the high resolution scans, you will not see your object:

In the future, please have the courtesy to include the magazine and frame number when you post an image from Apollo.

OMG!

THE OBJECT ... FLOWN AWAY!

reply to post by DJW001


In the future, please have the courtesy to check correctly your images before try to debunk what ever...

In this case You Give us the Proof the THE OBJECT WAS DELETED FROM NASA IMAGE or THE OBJECT FLOWN AWAY......

IN BOTH CASES "THE OBJECT" EXIST!

T&C's Arken , T&C's .... That was a personal attack

As for rocks in the head . it is you posting threads on Google Moon picture artifacts and "unusual reflective" rocks on the Moon , maybe its your eyes at fault .
