1_dup16 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Please someone explain this to me: 1- Why the direct to sun shot (scroll to the right side of the picture) generates the light halo? (which should be present only with air) 2- In the space within the solar system, the shadow side of an object is -180 degree celsus and the sunny part of it is 300 degree celsus: Now how can it be possible that the car has Good year wheels??? 3- Look at the far mountain under the sun. It should be shadowed, instead there is a front light, against the sun! Was it painted or illuminated by MGM? http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0401/hillpan_apollo15_big.jpg Sucking the brain's vacuum Waiting for the Nuclear Fusion. More energy, less damage.

Jeebus Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Interesting. I guess we really haven't been to the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Peasley Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I thought it odd that the guy's shadow trails off to the right TOWARDS the sun, until it dawned on me that this has to be a 360-degree photo. M Peasley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offramp Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Good thing I've got two monitors. That's the goddamned biggest photo I've ever gotten off the 'net. There's no reasoning with light halos. They show up wherever they damn well please, and usually at the worst times. As someone who's done photography as income, off and on during the past 20+ years, I can vouch for this. My guess about the temperature difference and tires issue is that since there's no atmosphere, there's not the same kind of heat buildup, expansion/contraction stuff going on that there is here. And how do you know they're Goodyears? I'd speculate that they're not a standard inflatable-type of construction; I mean, if you're tooling along to Dr. Evil's moonbase, and you hit a divot or a particularly nasty rock, and that tire decides to pop...given the 1/6th gravity and the force of the explosion, you'd be in for a hella bad time. I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mats Olsson. Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 2 observations: It's a 360 degree panorama photo. Below the sun, there's lens glare and a halo. ------- Regarding the wheels: I don't think they are regular off-the-shelf radials'. I wonder if the lunar rover still works. http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

RG203 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 The wheels on the rover were made of wire mesh (piano wire) with titanium cleats for treads. The engineers did not use solid or air-filled rubber tires because they would have been much heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Strat Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Yeah, the moon rover had wire mesh tires. I've seen one of the test vehicles at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. BlueStrat a.k.a.

FormerOceanwaySlave Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Far be it from me to deny you your fantasy life, revel in your ignorance . . . Halos occur in lenses becacuse they are not always perfectly transparent and a bit of the light gets reflected back and forth within them. But of course there have never been people on the moon, because if there had been the gods would have killed us all. Cheers, Alan Tomlinson P.S.

If you were correct, 1, about the atmosphere being necessary for the halo effect, then our eyes would see halos in every situation in which camera lenses exhibit them. But that doesn't happen. The people who conceived of and built the technology that sent man to the moon were far from perfect, but they were very intelligent and worked out many of the issues of work in space theoretically, and others practically. They worked on space walk operation and tools in the closest environment to space on earth... water tanks. Even so, it took several space missions for them to fully understand the difficulty of working in a 0 gravity environment. Out of initial failures came later success. No one thinks they did it all in one mission. The culmination of the 1960's space program, walking on the moon, only occurred due to failure and success of many other missions.

Super 8 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Well clearly, this is one of the mock-up photos, done here on Earth. All of the moon shots and film footage were created on Earth for the public. We DID send people to the moon. But, as I recall, they were eaten before they could get any good pictures.
