I wouldn't get so excited about that. Please take note of the utube user who posted the 'trailer'...it is a guy promoting his OWN movie, for fun and profit!!
Jose Escamilla is a hack, and a fraud. Probably, he knows that the LRO will soon cause the market for his baloney to dry up...he needs to capitalize on people's naivete' while he can.
Back to reader's OP. We've run amuck in this thread, as is usually the case, but I believe the intent of reader's claim was that photos were 'fake' because of one photo that is alleged to show 'clouds'...
I happen to think it's a tempest in a teapot. Since we have plenty of video that doesn't show any 'clouds' or anomalies, it comes down to a chance angle of a shot where the helmet visor catches the light in a peculiar way. Not an expert on the composition of those gold visors, but I would venture a guess that they were multi-layered and sandwiched in their construction. Think of how your car windows reflect light, sometimes. Or, your gold-mirrored sunglasses.
I find it peculiar that people will nitpick so readily, instead of marveling at the scope and majesty of the space efforts!!
My edit is because I originally wrote a response to the wrong OP!!
