Im sorry and i know i should'nt expect to, but i have never seen a photo that looks anything like the moon i see every night!!
It jus has a glow that i've never seen in any photo!!! and i kno there's obvious reasons for the glow, but i'm sorry i dont buy them!!!

Could someone take a night picture of Los Angeles from the desert (isn't that where it's guessed that a fake landing could be done - near Edwards AFB?) and see if it looks anything like this after it's "blacked out". I don't live near LA, but if anyone does, or near any other desert, we could see if we can get similar results.

Or do this to any of the other horizon photos from the moon and post it? To see if we get similar skylines?

I see the photo shop argument - but honestly, I think the squares that show up in the black in the lower image look much more like "artifacts" than buildings. But the one's on the horizon have a 3D quality to them and a uniformity that looks suspiciously skyline. I actually think I see a difference between the two black areas. And of course there is that the whole lower image is full of squares and the horizon stops just at building level. Any of you, think that too?

Moon pictures are very odd and these pictures usually dont look like real life pictures. Usually horizon lines etc. looks very stupid, sharp lines etc. Here is one example. How they edited photos really?

Do you mean this? The cylinder like object in the sky?



Well could be anything - except a UFO!!

Cheers!

Hi i have been playing with the photo 5454 and have been running filters on it. I came up with some intresting results, the only problem is that i dont know how to upload the photo. Please help.

For me looks like a city.... I have 20/20

well i dont go around adjusting the brightness on all of my downloaded space photos but in doing so experimentally even here on earth the same outcome is obtainable. Especially with dated software like acdsee that interprets that data without considering the header information as details.

I don't understand, you say that because the Moon is smaller we should not see that it is round better than we see Earth?

Is that it?

Double post, sorry.

I think what he means is that how come you can see the curvature of the moon when here on earth if you look out at sea you dont see any curvature. Its just a straight horizon. Even though the moon is 1/4 the size of earth surely its still too big to see any curvature?

I think thats what he was getting at but could be wrong...
