This is a slight crop of NASA's photo they shared, in which they note the moon is blocking the earth & sun. Are these instances of TLP, or something else?
I uploaded the original un-cropped version as the final photo in this post – and in my best estimation there is not a consistent distribution of other light sources in the frame to cause lens or craft viewport reflection in the positions they are in on the moon.
Curious…

What, the Mystery Huts?
Where? Could you point it out?
They must’ve left the flash on
Genuinely hoping someone provides an explanation for this, rather than just swarming this post with troll comments. If there’s a scientific explanation I wanna know because it’s interesting.
Stop calling it the dark side. It is the far side. It is just as light on the far side as it is on the near side. There is no dark side of the moon.
I wonder if it could be noise artifacts due to the high ISO being used?
I believe I heard something about the astronauts saying meteorite hits.
NASA is all CGI and it’s a fake space agency and there is nothing real about this photo.
NASA lies. They use trillions of dollars per year for who knows what and they lie to the population in the meantime.
NASA means to deceive in Hebrew.
Reflection of capsule instrument panel control lights in the window would be much guess.
The crew turned off the general cabin lighting but I’d suggest they wouldn’t have been able to turn off the critical instrument panel lighting.
Alien bases man. Seriously though, I think aliens have science stations on the moon. Just a hunch.

Hot pixels from the cameras, especially if using longer exposures or high iso. I get these dots when I do long exposure astrophotography.
Hot pixels. It’s a characteristic sensor noise you often see in dark areas when there’s some combination of high ISO/long exposure/warm sensor.
My bet is on radiation damage on the camera sensor.
You can see the same type of artifacting on this video from the ISS: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvTmdIhYnes&t=2780s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvTmdIhYnes&t=2780s)
If I’m right, you should be able to find the same “lights” on all photos taken from that camera, regardless of wat was photographed
there’s also a red one, top left close to the terminator

Hmmm, looks a lot like Arizona…
