Complimenti al Dr Faccin per l'ennesimo spunto di riflessione!MareKromium

ORIGINAL_NASA_APOLLO_15_-_AS_15-87-11849-1.jpgAS 15-87-11849 - Image-Artifact or a True "Luminous Event" on the edge of the Hadley Mountain? (credits for the additional process.: Ciro Casizzone and Lorenzo Leone)155 visiteInnanzitutto, un GRAZIE di Cuore ai nostri Amici e Partners di lunga data, Lorenzo Leone (alias "Anakin") e Ciro Casizzone (alias "Cicas65").
In secondo luogo, solo una considerazione: nessuno di noi sa (n pu) dire con certezza assoluta che cosa sia la possibile Anomala che stata isolata (Sx) ed ingrandita (Dx). E' un image-artifact (ossa un vizio dell'immagine)? Forse si, ed infatti, nel frame NASA - Original ottenuto dal National Space Science Data Center- NSSDC (a differenza di quanto si vede in quello ottenuto dal Lunar Planetary Institute - LPI), il dettaglio NON appare.
Ma pu anche essere un qualcosa di reale e di "Alieno"? Si, certo, ed infatti, nel frame ottenuto dal Lunar and Planetary Institute (che, a nostro parere, costituisce un'Autorit in senso assoluto in materia di immagini NASA) esso, anche se la CTX Picture vecchia e mostra la sua "vecchiaia" - specie in termini cromatici -, pu comunque essere isolato con facilit e NON SEMBRA essere il prodotto di una mera aberrazione del frame il quale, colore a parte, conserva una magnifica definizione e profondit (a differenza di quello NSSDC che, va detto, sebbene cromaticamente pi corretto, qualitativamente fa davvero pena, ci appare - leggermente - sfuocato e comunque stato sovrasaturato in maniera ovvia ed eccessiva).
Morale: decidete Voi, nella quieta consapevolezza che la Verit, al momento, nessuno la possiede (tranne, come ovvio, i nostri Amici di Pasadena e gli Astronauti che scattarono le foto che noi, sempre umilmente, proviamo a commentare).MareKromium

as10-29-4181-2.JPGAS 10-29-4181 - Chaplygin Crater and a (possible) small Lunar Shield-Volcano (EDM n. 2)152 visiteProbabilmente un Cratere da Impatto relativamente recente, anche se un (minimo) dubbio circa la natura effettiva del rilievo sussiste. Il NSSDC, sebbene cortesemente interpellato, non ha fornito risposte.MareKromium

as15-87-11849-4.jpgAS 15-87-11849 - Surface Anomaly? (False Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation) 150 visiteIl dettaglio effettivamente intrigante, ma la nostra opinione (maturata attraverso l'esperienza e la comparazione fra questa immagine ed altre similari che riprendono lo stesso scorcio) che la "Columnar Feature" - conficcata nella coliina pi distante rispetto all'Osservatore e che sembra proiettare un'ombra scura e definita - non altro che un artefatto fotografico di un qualche tipo (probabilmente un vizio fisico del negativo - eventualit, quest'ultima, assai ricorrente nelle immagini della Serie "Apollo").

as10-28-3990~0.JPGAS 10-28-3990 - Extra Lunar Object147 visiteUn 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 (...).

APOLLO_11_AS_11-37-5455-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgAS 11-37-5455 - Here's the "Flare-like light"! (Frame restored and recalibrated; credits: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/LXTT/IPF) 147 visiteThis is an historical picture taken by the NASA - Apollo 11 Astronaut "Buzz" Aldrin from his own window; it forms part of a five-frames panorama and it shows the Lunar Surface just after landing, with the Lunar Module shadow and the Lunar Horizon.
The "Flare-like Light" that is very well visible on the right (Dx) side of the frame, very close to the Horizon, is one of the many "misteries" that were found during the analysis of the whole Apollo - Moon Collection. Said that, the question is (relatively...) "simple": is this "Flare-like Light" a real - and, perhaps, just "temporary" - Feature of the Lunar Surface (a "flare", for instance, like it was originally speculated by Dr Paolo C. Fienga/LXTT/IPF, and then confirmed by a former Member of the Lunar and Planetary Institute), or is it just one of the very many image-artifacts (---> such as, basically, "defects" of the picture caused by some imperfection in the camera lenses and/or in the film itself) that can also be found in the Apollo - Moon Collection?
Of course we, as IPF, do not have a final answer to this question and, apparently, nobody does (even though a former NASA's Image Technician wrote us saying that the "shining light" was a true Surface Feature and, in his opinion, "...the result of Sunlight that was illuminating a distant - but highly reflective - boulder...". An opinion, this one, that we deeply respect but, honestly speaking, that we also consider extremely unlikely: consider, in fact, that no light whatsoever is visible in that precise spot in the frame that follows this one - such as AS 11 37-5456 -; a frame that was taken only a few seconds after AS 11 37-5455. Now, if this "light" was really just a reflection caused by Sunlight illuminating an highly reflective boulder, it is logical and reasonable to assume that the "reflection" should have still been very well visible over there, even a few seconds (and, maybe, also for a few minutes) after the time when "Buzz" took the first picture of his "Window Panorama". But this - we repeat: reasonable and logical - "circumstance", as a matter of fact, did not happen. The Flare-like Light (or the reflection, if you prefer) vanished very quickly. Why? Of course no answer even to this last question was ever given.
Anyway, the "Flare-like Light" (which may also look like a "Metallic Reflection" in the LPI frame) is there and, in a way, it keeps "asking" us to be recognized and identified, beyond any reasonable doubt, for what that it really was. Maybe, in the Future, we shall know more. Or, maybe (and most likely), the "Flare-like Light" shall remain a Lunar Mistery forever...
This bigger picture (which is an Original NASA - APOLLO 11 Spacecraft color frame published on the NASA - Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Journal with the ID n. AS 11-37-5455) has been additionally processed and then re-colorized in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Apollo 11 Lunar Module and then looked outside, towards the Surface and Horizon of the Moon), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team. Different colors, as well as different shades of the same color, mean, among other things, the existence of different Elements (Minerals) present on the Surface of the Moon, each having a different Albedo (---> Reflectivity) and Chemical Composition.
The smaller (inset) picture, is also an Original NASA - APOLLO 11 Spacecraft color frame published by the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) on the Apollo Image Atlas with the ID n. AS 11-37-5455. This second picture HAS NOT been additionally processed nor re-colorized by Lunar Explorer Italia.MareKromium

APOLLO_12_AS_12-46-6746-1.jpgAS 12-46-6746 - Blue Sphere on the Lunar Surface (Full Original Frame)146 visiteOriginal Caption: "116:24:47 MT - First frame from Pete's 4 o'clock pan showing the deep shadow on the Eastern Wall of Surveyor Crater and, as indicated in a detail, the sunlit Solar Panels of Surveyor III. Compare with the corresponding frames from Pete's 12 o'clock pan, AS12-46-6741, and his 8 o'clock pan, AS12-46-6769. As Pete mentions at 118:27:12, he mistakenly took the pan at 15-foot focus instead of 74-foot focus".
Dunque anche la NASA ammette che la foto stata scattata "fuori fuoco" ma...io lo vedo bene l'"Oggetto Blu"! E Voi?!?

APOLLO_12_-_AS_12-49-7281-7318-7319_ONC.jpgAS 12-49-7281/7318/7319 - Mysterious reflection... (photomosaic by Dr Paolo C. Fienga)138 visiteAllora: la possibile Anomala (UFO) che si evidenzia come riflesso nel visore di Conrad si risolve nel prodotto di un singolare - quanto evidente - Effetto Prismatico, come il dettaglio di AS 7281 sembra provare in maniera definitiva, oppure si tratta effettivamente di un UFO sigariforme e di modeste dimensioni, ma estremamente luminoso, che fluttua solo a pochi metri dalla Superficie Lunare?
Premesso che la risposta definitiva NON PUO' ESSERE DATA, noi Vi suggeriamo di prestare attenzione a due dettagli:
1) il "riflesso", nel frame 7281, perfettamente definito (e diremmo che si tratta di un effetto prismatico derivato dal Sole che si specchia in un angolo della visiera dell'Astronauta), ma nei quadri 7318 e 19, diventa confuso e sfuocato (entrambi i frames perdono nitidezza e appaiono oversaturati);
2) la porzione superiore del frame 7318 stata nettamente tagliata (verificate Voi stessi andando a visionare l'Original Uncompressed File che pubblicato nell'Album "Original Nasa Apollo Frames: from Apollo 4 to Apollo 17", Categoria "The Lunar Explorer Archives".
Conclusione: molto probabilmente nulla come sembra...MareKromium
