Photos of Earth from Apollo 10 and Apollo 11 were made half way to the moon. The HB's talk about some sort of transparency being used. Does anyone have any idea about this? What they are trying to say, I think, is that the ships were in low orbit and this special transparency made it look as if the earth was far away.

The whole transparancy thing always seemed like a non-issue to me.

If they were using a transparency, then the cloud patterns wouldn't match the actual weather on the day the picture was supposed to be taken. The picture is thus falsifiable. Why has no HB ever checked this out?

The trouble here is the lack of satelite weather images from the time. Since the area shown is the Pacific it's not possible to look in local papers either, otherwise AB's (Apollo Believers) would be able to pull them up and show that the the HB's haven't a leg to stand on. Instead we just have to show that the object can't be a transparency stuck to the window by noting that it it doesn't act like one, for example, as shown above, it gets blocked by the edge of the window frame, something utterly impossible for a transparency stuck to the window..

There was a satellite taking pictures over the Pacific at the time, see this link.If you follow the links to the data sets, you'll see that the pictures are available on microfiche. |

Bleah, that's a NASA link. Of course THEIR images are going to look like THEIR transparancy.
Do I win an HB prize?
