Default Stars in Apollo 16 Far UV camera image

I am totally tired and fed up with conspiracy whackos that assert that we did not go to the moon.

The stars are not visible in most surface EVA photos because the camera exposures were set for daylight. The moon's surface was illuminated by the morning sun, so the stars were too dim to be exposed properly.


However, John Young took images of the Earth through a Far Ultraviolet camera and it actually recoded star images as well as the earth. You can see an aurora in the earth's magnetosphere, too.

See attached picture you fractured ceramic types....
