From Art Bell Show 8/20/97
Time-lapse sequence of last few 16-mm (DAC)
camera frames of "anomalous Earthrise," as filmed from
Apollo 10
lunar module "Spider" in May, 1969.
From left to right
(above image):
(1) last
proper exposure before camera is turned "off," although Earth
appears geometrically "flattened"
(2) film begins slowing down,
with Earth and lunar surface brightening with increasing exposure
(3) Earth still brightening, but sun-lit lunar surface (below)
suddenly is strangely "dimmed"
(4) next frame, lunar surface and
Earth brightening again, and curious "layering" in space above Earth
appears;
(5) second-to-last-frame, Earth and Moon almost totally
over-exposed by film continued slow-down, with "layering" even more
pronounced
(6) final frame, Earth dimly visible above totally
over-exposed lunar surface, through semi-transparent
multiple-layering ... while above, the jagged (fractal),
meteor-bombarded, topmost layer of "the Mare Smythe dome" finally
appears...

(Left) Computer-enhanced enlargement of
last 16-mm DAC frame of "Earthrise," seen from Apollo 10. Telephoto
view shows 2-degree-wide Earth, between two "layers" of the "Mare
Smythe dome." Jagged, micro meteorite-eroded top layer (~3 miles
above lunar surface in this close-up) is characteristic of "fractal
architecture" -- eroded back along structural supports.

glass-like lunar dome ...
