    An old picture, taken with old film, with obvious gradients in slope and ground texture? Plus, the astronaut shadow doesn't seem to extend on the downward slope like the other long shadow. Plus it appears too dark as if no ambient light is touching any ground mass where the shadow is cast.

    Your picture looks photoshopped to me. =P

    EDIT : Based on that downward slope alone, that astronaut looks like he would be 20ft tall

      The mythbusters is simply a good video explaining what it is. I'd get into the mechanics of using lasing as a system of measuring distance but I frankly don't think you'd understand it

      First point: Those shadows DON'T intersect.
      Second point: Thats an edited image. Here is the full image

      The reason why the shadows appear to have two different light sources is because the image is a panoramic image produced by rotating the camera and stitching several images together. Most phones have the same capability in their camera modes, and a quick search of the internet can show you what the result of these things can be when you have movement.

      The reason the shadows look like they are coming from two different light sources is because the images that constitute the panorama are taken by a camera pointing at different angles for each.
      Third point: I STILL HAVE LITERAL PICTURES OF THE LANDERS ON THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET. YOU CAN GO GET A GOOD TELESCOPE AND LITERALLY LOOK FOR YOURSELF. HOLY SHIT.

        Wow.

        You really, really, really, read me wrong.

        I was replying to @cryptoctopus that his argument was PWND by you.

        Are you saying that I wouldn't understand it? Good Lord you've got some prickly skin.
