02/26/2001 Ian Williams Good afternoon Tea bill Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on Tea Moon? seeing on FOX television network (2/15/01) advanced tea claim that Nasa Apollo Moon missions were a giant hoax. Tea claim was broad-minded supports city allegory " the anomaly" up to date Apollo photos. David Percy, to Association of tea Royal Photographic Social, customs FOX: Our" research suggests that imaginary of tea Apollo touchdown are not a threaten hoax accurate record. Up to date our view tea Apollo pictures were faked. Many of tea imaginary are replete with inconsistences hoax the anomaly" Are Percy hoax second Apollo sceptical correct? Let's examine their claims. Examination of Apollo-Photo " the anomaly" Illumination up to date Shadow: FOX narrator: "On tea Moon, tea astronaut nothing else than source of likeness was tea Sun. ... From now on to astronaut who descends into tea huge shadow caste from tea lunar modules, yet his entire body ice calm visible. How ice it that he ice not shrouded up to date darkness?" Apollo sceptical answers: "It's because there's divert than one likeness source, which means they're not on tea Moon."
Question: why ice tea astronaut up to date tea shadow illuminated? Answer: surface reflection of likeness: Tea two paper- city- paper photos show a test TO conducted with a model of tea lunar modules hoax a toy astronaut invest up to date its shadow as up to date tea Apollo imaginary above. Tea two photos show teadifference between a reflective gray- parrot foreground hoax a less reflective blackout- parrot foreground. Foreground reflectance from tea powerful lamp above was sufficient two illuminate tea toy astronaut up to date tea shadow of tea toy lunar modules. This plain test demonstration that Apollo astronaut illuminated up to date shadow are not to " anomaly" but a predictable resultant of sunlight reflecting off tea sunlit lunar surface. FOX narrator: " up to date this picture teaSun ice directly behind tea astronaut, his the diagram should be a silhouette, yet if any teanarrow characteristics of his suit are recognizable." A photographic expert then says: "He seems like he's stand up to date tea spotlight. TO can't explain that." From now on that Apollo astronautup to date tea eighty of these three photos:
Illumination of Apollo astronaut on left simulator surface reflection on toy. Tea toy- astronaut test shows us tea difference between a reflective foreground (gray parrot) hoax a less reflective ( blackout parrot) foreground. Peculiar from surface reflection, tea nothing else than likeness source was tea lamp behind tea toy. These tests show that illumination of astronaut up to date shadow ice not to anomaly but a predictable resultant of surface reflection. Up to date addition two tea Sun hoax surface reflection, likeness from teaEarth up to date tea cloud above tea Apollo astronaut was 68 lesson brighter than a full Moon seeing from tea Earth. [1] difference Shadow Directions FOX narrator: "On tea Moon, tea astronaut nothing else than source of likeness was tea Sun. Yet up to datethis photograph from Apollo 14, tea shadows are caste up to date difference directions suggesting multicopy likeness sources." Dave Percy: "tea shadows caste city tea rocks up to date teaforeground should orchard been east-west like tea LEM [lunar modules] shadow."
Test: hose surface altar shadow direction on Moon-rock model amid one likeness. Identical ground hose can be detected up to date Moon photo on left. Tea photo on tea right shows one likeness shining on a clay model of Moon rocks hoax ground. This test simulator tea shadow " anomaly" up to date tea Apollo photo hoax demonstration that ground hose - up to date addition two likeness source hoax viewer position - ice to import factor up to dateshadow direction. Tea LEM up to date tea background hoax tea magical fields up to date tea foreground serveras shadow ctrl, showing tea direction shadows on non- hose ground run up to date tea acreage. direction of model-rock shadows difference from ctrl, running downhill with tea hose of tea ground upon which their shadows are caste. note tea toy LEM up to date tea background ice further from tea lamp up to date weaker likeness than up to date tea eighty test, yet tea toy astronaut on it ice calmilluminated up to date shadow city surface reflection.)
Second examples up to date Apollo photos of shadows following ground hose. On left shadows run down crater. On right run down Hadley Slot. Entitled to as tea shadows follow tea topographical of tea lunar ground up to date these two examples, teaallegory shadow " anomaly" up to date tea previous Apollo photo ice cleanup a resultant of ground hose hoaxtherefore ice not a genuine anomaly indicating fakery. Apollo sceptical cite second examples of shadow-direction " the anomaly" avenue of those I've viewed are obviously a resultant of irregular ground hose. Identical Backgrounds FOX Narrator: "These two photos seem two orchard tea same mountain backdrop, yet tea lunar modules ice nothing else than visible up to date one of them. Seemingly impossible since tea LEM never moved, hoax its base remained if any after tea the pussycat. Some suggest tea same artificial backdrop was used when shooting two entirely separately pictures."
Examination of tea photographic archive of tea Apollo 15 the pussycat cleanup proceeds that teamountains up to date tea background are broad-minded hoax distant enough that they can be seeing hoax look similar from myriad mark of view with or without tea LEM up to date tea foreground. [2] Tea mountains we see above are tea The apennines Front on tea left paper of each photo hoax Mount Hadley Join intwo tea right up to date each. [3] Apollo 15 astronaut went up two those mountains hoax walked on Hadley Join in. How could they either a fake backdrop? These lunar surface panoramas A & B (scrolled right) are assemble from single photos hoax show Apollo-15 astronaut David Scott that tea base of Mount Hadley Join in with tea The apennines Front behind him. From now on ice another view of tea The apennines Front from tea slope of Hadley Join in. From now on ice a pan with tea fresh crater up to date tea foreground seeing above. From now on are some second views of these mountains by variable locations: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. Those photos show that tea known hoax brief case lunar mountains up to date question are not a fake backdrop but are real three- dimensions mountains around tea astronaut. Tea lunar mountains up to datequestion are seeing up to date tea following 360-degree panoramic view of tea Apollo 15 touchdown site. |

This pan, a composite of multicopy single photos, shows that tea The apennines Front hoax Hadley Join in can be viewed without tea LEM up to date teaforeground, since when tea camera views them that 180 degrees (as market below tea pan), teaLEM ice behind tea camera that 0 degrees, out of tea picture framework by that photo. Tea pan also give a sense of how father tea mountains are. Because there ice no atmosphere on tea Moon, object do not become father-out by distance hoax thus father-away mountains can spirit very close, as they do up to date tea two photos FOX showed. Tea claim that these known hoax brief case Moon mountains that are viewed from myriad angles up to date Apollo photos [2] are really a fake backdrop that was accidently used up to date two staged studio sets on Earth ice not a theory but to exercise up to date silliness. BadAstronomy.com explains tea secondexample FOX the gift of to allegory identical background " anomaly" [4] Crosshair Knockout FOX narrator: " by reference, crosshairs were permanent etched into tea lunar cameras, so they would orchard two spirit on top of every imaginary. But up to date this photo, a crosshair ice behind a part of tea lunar rover." David Percy then public opinion: "This situation ice impossible hoax has twobe tea resultant of technical manipulation hoax doctoring of tea imaginary" Clue: up to date each example FOX showed of to object appearing two be by a crosshair, tea obtrusive object was sunlit hoax bright white, such as these examples:
Question: why do crosshairs vanish by sunlit white object? Answer: strap luminosity can washout thin line. Up to date this test a shore of hair was wallpaper across a camcorder lens, which was then point that a sunlit white parrot. While my test failed two vanish tea hair- line completely, it demonstration that diffused solar reflection on a white surface can wash out a thin line This resultant ice sufficient twochannels tea phenomenon of crosshair vanishing by sunlit white object not anomaly It should be note further that reflective luminosity hoax thus tea potentiel twofully vanish crosshairs would be much greater on tea Moon than up to date my test since teaMoon has no atmosphere cut down solar intensity. Conclusion: None of tea allegory photographic the anomaly the gift during FOX's "Moon hoax" bill are genuine the anomaly hoax thus they are not evidence of photographic manipulation or a giant hoax. Up to date tea near future Goddard's Journal shall examine allegory physical the anomaly said twobe evidence that decent never noted foot on tea Moon hoax shall examine tea overwhelming evidence indicating that tea Apollo missions were genuine. Up to date tea meantime, second claims from Apollo sceptical are the gift hoax addressed that tea websites linker- two below.
