In reply to your picture post, I don't think you have quite got what I mean.
In the pictures, tell me why there is one certain area lit up, whilst the rest is dull.
I assume you were trying to quote my post with the original non-edited Buzz Aldrin photo. Quoting sure is tricky isn't it?
Look at the horizon in that picture. It's pretty much evenly lit from side to side.
Look at the shadow direction of all the rocks, depressions, etc. They're all the same direction.
Is the ground 100% uniform? No. It's uneven with multiple surface textures being illuminated from an angle, with a camera that is viewing it from a varied angle. The camera is viewing the ground at the steepest angle in the closer foreground, and the bright parts of that area look to be pretty much angled toward the sun, and therefore brighter.
It looks a lot more like a huge, distant light source than a small, close light source.
Here's the key.
You and others go into detail ,as many like you do..about focus, perspective, angles, shadows and such to explain something that should not even need to be explained ..and simply just accepted as fake.
We are dealing with the SUN...
I don't care about bad photo's, and any other crap about photo's...I'm simply telling you that it's the SUN shining onto the supposed moon and if so, it would not emit a spotlight glow on the surface and leave everything else duller.
The surface would be lit up like a beacon, as we see from Earth.
The reason: If the Sun is nearly 1 million kilometres in diameter, then that moon at 2000 miles in diameter is getting a massive sun bath.
I don;t care about the old comebacks of, " oh but the sun isn't shining directly" because it's bull.
If you can see the sun, then that Sun is shining onto the moon. It isn't just deciding to shine a little light onto the moon from it's centre. It's shining it's full self onto every bit of moon in it's oath of "wide" light.
You do comprehend a 1,392,684km diameter spherical sun 149,600,000km away from a 3,474km diameter spherical moon, and that the sunlight isn't going to be hitting at a 90 degree angle over the entire surface correct?
