camera footage taken in space is something weird indeed. I remember when i first saw how an eclipse affects shadows in real life. It immediately clicked in my brain why that early moon landing footage looked how it did. And also how easily so many people thought it was fake
Can you elaborate?
Shadows become incredibly sharp for instance, causing everything to look like it's rasterized in software!
It looks exactly like on the first Apollo photographs. Guess they must’ve hired Kubrick's students. Jokes aside, there’s just one light source on the moon, and no atmosphere to provide diffuse light. The dynamic range (contrast) of the moon is something we don’t see often on Earth.
And the lighting makes it really hard for the camera to see any stars, so the sky always looks deep black and fake which also adds to all those frustrating conspiracy theories.
Definitely. You can see the lander "breaking" to adjust fall trajectory twice, the actual burst wouldn't be that fast.
