  1. Submission statement:

    I found several official Apollo mission photos showing similar blue orb/light artifacts across different missions and camera angles. I’m curious whether this is a known optical effect related to Apollo Hasselblad cameras, film scanning, lens coatings, or internal reflections.

    I heard this is likely artifacts on the film from taking photos in space, but who knows really.

    Sorry I forgot to turn the lights off when I parked my saucer there.

    On a related note, anyone got jumpstart cables?

    Those are the light reflections from the warehouse sets where the moon walks were filmed.  It’s just stuff like equipment that they didn’t cover up..
