Lunar Lander Model
I'm not sure what it is, it looks a bit like a fingerprint. Originalwana (talk) 13:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That would make sense. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 03:38, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's more likely a moiré pattern. A quick look at the background shows clearly that they are using a fabric (out of focus background lights reveal that). This kind of semi-transparent fabric usually induce moiré patterns in photos. --Banzoo (talk) 00:58, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like nobody here has done any film scanning. These are "Newton rings" - a result of squeezing negative between glass frames. This is a mistake. Possible solutions: 1. scan without glass; 2. retouch. It is not supposed to be there on a good quality photograph. The film grain is reasonable (it is not "noise"). I'd support if the rings weren't there, this is a good photograph. -- Blago Tebi (talk) 09:04, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
