Slam_Jones Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) I'm gonna waste so many hours here Thanks for sharing!Gotta ask though, what the heck the thing in the sky is on this one:https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/21516002108/Damaged film? Doesn't look like Earth. Edited October 3, 2015 by Slam_Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GluttonyReaper Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Gotta ask though, what the heck the thing in the sky is on this one: Doesn't look like Earth.Based on the next picture, I would guess some dirt (or moon dust, or whatever):https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/21692353822/in/photostream/Or, y'know. Aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt_flyer Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) HI'm gonna waste so many hours here Thanks for sharing!Gotta ask though, what the heck the thing in the sky is on this one:https://www.flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/21516002108/Damaged film? Doesn't look like Earth.Could be the lunar lander itself (with a bad lightning angle). That antenna we can see belongs to the Lunar rover vehicle Edited October 3, 2015 by sgt_flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel of Life Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Very cool. Also, 20 rows of 5 columns per page and 101 pages means there's at least 25000 photos, not just 8000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lajoswinkler Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) There's an image AS17-136-20862, too.http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a17/AS17-136-20862HR.jpgAnd here's the AS17-136-20863.http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a17/AS17-136-20863HR.jpg(don't hotlink high resolution images)It's a silver emulsion degradation and some debris. Very common and annoying stuff. It's not like nobody here ever used a classical camera. Edited October 4, 2015 by lajoswinkler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjee10 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Man, that's incredible. Feel like I'm looking at Neil Armstrong's holiday snaps. Certainly lays to rest the whole 'how come every photo of the moon landing is perfectly framed and in focus?!?!' conspiracy nut angle. Most of them aren't, just only the good ones got published.

vger Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Man, that's incredible. Feel like I'm looking at Neil Armstrong's holiday snaps. Certainly lays to rest the whole 'how come every photo of the moon landing is perfectly framed and in focus?!?!' conspiracy nut angle. Most of them aren't, just only the good ones got published.This is going to usher in a new era of conspiracy discussions though. Ugh.Like the 'bloating blob' things that appear in a couple of the photos mentioned on this thread.People who have never worked with physical film and have no idea what dust and scratches look like are going to have a field day.
