Our resident kooks actually inspired me to take a look at a photo, and,
though I have no doubts that I'm seeing things in it which are actually on the moon, I'm curious as to exactly what I am seeing. T____C_____ wrote: B___, take a close look at the astronaut's helmet reflection (Apollo 11). There appears to be 5 lights with the photograph having been taken at night. I wonder if these are xenon lights? Or, are they Beta Lights? http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/...11_40_5902.jpg You can see some interesting reflectons in http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/as11-40-5903HR.jpg which has the same time stamp. If you want more resolution than is available in the online version, check out Michael Light's book "Full Moon" -- he took scans from the first generation prints at sufficient resolution to see the film grains (at least in the 4 by 6 foot prints in the art exhibit). This is way better than using photoshop. I'm trying to figure out just what is reflected. One possibility is the MESA cover, and another is the stand for the video camera. I'm not sure whether the EASEP had been unloaded (it hadn't been deployed), so that is possibility. http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/images11.html has links to enhanced images and some of them show the objects more clearly. From some of the other photos, I'm pretty sure that one of the bright objects is probably the TV camera. Anyone who doesn't think they are studio lights is welcome to help out with identifying them. |
