Way too small? I can't find one single picture of an Astronaut with the Earth in the backdrop. Plenty of moon lander pics with a big giant earth beaming in the backdrop though.

earth from moon pics



If you can find any pics of Astronauts with the Earth in the backdrop I'd be very pleased to see them, no matter how small the Earth is in them.



I can't find any pictures with the lunar lander in front of the earth while on the moon. Nor should I be able to find such pictures. Do you know where the earth was in the moon's sky during the extravehicular activities? The same place it always is as seen from the landing sites, high up! The moon rotates at the same rate as it orbits the earth, so from the moon, the earth appears to sit at about the same place in the sky at all times. There is no "earthrise" or "earthset" from just about any place on the moon (except the extreme edges as seen from earth due to libration). There was never any opportunity to get a picture of any astronaut with earth on the horizon. If you can find such a picture you've just proven a hoax, but since no such picture exists... its absence is proof of a real mission. The pictures you've found with the earth on the horizon were taken from lunar orbit, not from the surface.

You are right that the Earth will more or less stay in the same spot in the Lunar sky, but it won't necessarily be high up. It depends where you are on the Moon that determines its location in the sky.

Here are some photos from Apollo 17.

There are many more like those.


It should be fairly high up in all of the apollo missions though since they all had to go to fairly equatorial locations on the "near" side. In the pictures from 17 you can tell that it's fairly high; two of the shots are basically taken "looking up" from the astronaut/flag/LEM.

Nonetheless, you've provided the proof that was said to be impossible, an astronaut next to the earth in the picture. Should be interesting to see what kind of refutation the disbelievers will try to mount on that.
