MoonFaker: Reflect On This. PART 3

This film took considerably longer to finish than expected due to severe computer problems on my end.

There have been many photographs taken from the various Apollo missions showing brightly lit objects that should be in shade. Conspiracy theorists believe fill-lights or reflectors were used to fill in the shadows. Propagandists claim that it's just light bouncing off the lunar surface that's causing the illumination.

In this video Jarrah White responds to the Mythbusters, ZigZag Productions and Jay Windley by doing what no propagandists has bothered to do - get the albedo right.

Watch what happens when we shoot photographs of shadowed objects on an asphelt surface. We know that the moon has an average albedo of 0.07. According to the American Concrete Pavement Association, this is within the vicinity of the albedo of asphelt - which makes it the perfect surface material for testing the lunar reflectivity.

Asphalt
0.05 - 0.10 (new)
0.10 - 0.15 (weathered)

Gray Portland cement concrete
0.35 - 0.40 (new)
0.20 - 0.30 (weathered)

White Portland cement concrete
0.70 - 0.80 (new)
0.40 - 0.60 (weathered)

Why has no propandist ever done their tests on an asphelt road? And why do some even pretend that their choice of surface material has the same albedo as the moon when they know it doesn't?

Jarrah White would like to invite you to see the Apollo 11 footage that Svector, Phantom Wolf and Shane Killian have tried to suppress from public view.

There's an addendum 2 this series with a brighter light(streetlight)

I've posted

On earth,after hammering through the atmosphere on a clear day, the Sun produces around 96,000 lux on a surface normal to the sun's rays,or 62,000 lux on the level ground when the sun's elevation is 50°

On the moon, there is no atmosphere, so the lux will be greater

a street light at 5000 lumens,lighting a"large portion of the street" (say 100mSq)is 50 lux

I think you still need a brighter light source

[WhiteJarrah]

You can use a brighter lightsource but I won't make a difference. Anyway, I would like to point out that various pro-NASA types like Ian Goddard use desktop office lamps in their tests. What are your comments on those tests?

[Rob260259]

Barely see someone on the asphalt at 0:24. Is it Jarrah? Compare this with the brightness 4:15. It's the difference between sunlight and a headlight of a car. Some science.....

[WhiteJarrah]

"Barely see someone on the asphalt at 0:24."

Barely visible? You can see me and the road and the Legos quite clearly in that point.

[guitarplayer4real]

You do take into consideration the "bulb" used in these desktop lamps dont you?

Considering the vast differences in lux of the many different light bulbs on the market its only fair to add that detail.

Are those specs available? A desktop lamp is as good as the bulb installed, even you would have to agree yes?

All light sources are not created equally, its why I have to use vastly different exposure settings to capture deep sky images regardless of my CCD camera or its abilities.

[BlisterHiker]

Mr White,

Don't you think light source angle has also got something to do with the results?

It's obious your light source was at much lower angle than the Sun in Apollo 11 picture, esp. when we consider topography visible at 0:00.

Topography also plays important role, which you are not even aware of.

[yesiamawizardjonny]

Use 1/100th F.2 in total daylight with a completely black sky.

[anupjani]

Great work done White Jarrah.

[catboulet]

Jarrah I am a fan of ur vids.. but ur light source is way to low in this experiment.. headlight are just too weak for this test.. and if asphalt is old dosent it lower its albedo? i believe i heard new asphalt has same albedo then the moon...

[VFS112]

@WhiteJarrah

Desktop office lamps use halogen bulbs... very bright. For example, many cars use halogen bulbs in their headlights. If you park a car under a street light and turn the vehicle's headlights on, you can still see the effect of the headlights on the ground, even through the existing illumination of the street light.

[garhwalijoshi]

Jarrah, Your research is immaculate, you are rational, you are a dedicated warrior of truth! We all support this great work.

[spindar600]

Yay! You have successfully proved that the sun is brighter than a car headlight. Do it again with a normal shutter speed and a decent light.

[EGMAG]

WhiteJarrah a brighter lightsource but It won't make a difference. <<

Brighter light would still come from only one sourced direction. In most moonwalk light anomalies, no matter what is the brightness, created corresponing shadows are still multiple light sources even sometimes with opposite shadowing.Nasa employees are strung by the balls to continue with touched up lro photos in order to continue getting government grants and retaining high salaried jobs, even when useless research abounds.

[WillShakespeare2007]

You point about the cylinder seems to ring true to me and it even seems to have a light reflection on the wrong side.

[mojojacket]

Hi Jarrah, I've been enjoying your other MF films, and agree/think plausable most of your points (a few exceptions), this one though is an error:

- the MB cement was modified with charcoal till it had the right albedo, as was clearly stated

- you require the long exposure for your lego model cos your light source is so dim, the sun is not so dim... think about it a bit more, you're a smart fellow you'll figure it out. No such long exposure time would be needed in bright sunlight.

[thesoulhack]

You have to remember that the lunar surface is in fact working as a reflector.
