AS 10-28-3990 - Extra Lunar Object

Un profondo ringraziamento va al Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) il quale, a distanza di molto tempo dalla prima richiesta operata da Lunar Explorer Italia (tramite il Dr Paolo C. Fienga), ha rintracciato negli Archivi NASA-Apollo questo rarissimo e controverso frame Apollo 10 e ce lo ha messo a disposizione nella sua versione originale e non compressa.
I commenti sono questi: "...we do not know what this object may represent, nor we have sources to contact in this regard. There really isn't anyone you can talk to about what an image shows. The people who analyzed the images originally have long since moved on to other jobs, retired, or died. All we have are the documents they left behind - some of which are online (...) However, as you correctly assumed, the artifact is not part of the US Spacecraft, but it was something caught in Lunar Orbit at the time the picture was taken. Its origin is, and most likely shall remain, unknown (...).
