NASA now claims this brighter image is the original, but photographs published in a wide array of
newspapers and magazines from 1969 show the darker spotlight image to be the original.
August 11, 1969 Special Edition of LIFE Magazine
This magazine released just weeks after the Apollo 11 mission is using the spotlight image, not the
later corrected NASA image. This is made more evident as one examines a 2-page spread of this
same image inside this special edition.

Since the astronauts did not have flash photography, and took no lights with them to illuminate
objects to be photographed, there is no way to explain the lighting of this image, other than it having
been staged on Earth using artificial lighting. Many chapters could be devoted to the subject of
lighting and shadow anomalies involving the Apollo missions. It is not my purpose to provide an
exhaustive analysis. The reader is encouraged to do his or her own research. There is much good
material available on this subject. One of the writings most focused (pun intended) on lighting and
image anomalies is Dark Moon: Apollo and the Whistle Blowers by Mary Bennett and David Percy.
Their book is 568 pages, and heavily illustrated. Their material has also been used in numerous
videos on this subject.
