Lol that's easy. It helps to be a photographer. One, the shot is highly overexposed anyway, and two, the landscape behind the lander could be hilly, and as we know the lunar titanium surface is highly reflective. Hence, moonlight.

So if the sun is behind the lander...evident because of A) the shadow...and oh yeah B) The sun.. how is the front of the lander facing the camera getting light? Shouldn't it be black silohette?

Hmmmm

Not really. Don't forget about all the ground around the LM that isn't in the shadow. It's all reflecting the light, as is the astronaut's bright white suit while he's standing in the Sun light.

Since when was the lunar surface made of titanium? I know there is some on the moon, but we're talking about an estimated 0.122% here.

If you search around you'll find that the moon dust on the surface has the titanium. It's well known...

just some food for thought.

Ummmm how about oil from the camera mechanism? Or developer fluid when they printed the negatives or prints on earth?

Food for thought LOL

does oil retain liquid form in a vacuum? or does it sublimate?

and i've never seen oil spatter so thinly like that. there are streaks all over. oil globs up. not sure how oil would react on the moon, but i can't see it hanging around long in a vacuum.

Ummm the image was taken on the moon...

the picture developed on earth...

and I doubt its the ORIGINAL



Now then anyone found one that has clouds in the sky yet? I know there are 1 or 2 in that bunch, but I forget which one...

Oh wait... can't be any clouds... or haze... no atmosphere there...

please find the clouded pictures i'd love to see them.

Whew! Quite the folder. The link is still good, I dug into a couple of these and wow, are they pretty. Maybe the Moons experts should take a look if missed the first time around -- thread is from last year.

Every picture link you guys are posting is coming up "image is not found" are they being deleted??

great thread, a shame none of the links you guys posted work anymore

Wow, these are beautiful! Will take sometime to download them all

The links are down, that is strange, i remember this thread from back in the day, and any of theose 5000 pics are worth putting up as a destop background, and you could have a diffrent background everyday for almost 20 years!

And before we go sayin that the pics were removed, mabye the file directory has been changed.

And upon further review, it was! All pics now on the link provied in the Orginal Post have been posted on April 2007, months after the OP posted the link.

also, it seems that this directory is not the NASA directory, but is the Hard drive contents of someone PC.... As in the directory there are TONS of other files.
