Photo Of The Moon(s) With Droid CelFone. Check This Out!

[WhiteFeather]

My girlfriend shot this photo of a full moon several weeks ago with a droid cel phone. She showed me this a few days ago and it tickled my fancy a bit. Not sure if this is a flare but pretty cool anyways. This photo is an original and was not altered. Could there be other moons around our moon perhaps? Could these two extra moons be moon Phobos and Deimos of Mars? On the below left of the photo there is what appears to be an orb as well. I thought Alex Collier spoke of this in one of his interviews awhile back. Enjoy Peeps, Thought Id Share!

Whitefeather.....have you and your girlfriend been smoking that peace pipe a bit too often *smiling jokingly*

Might be a lens flare :yes2:

Yes Peacepipe Good! Im not too familiar with flares from a picture taken of the moon at night thats why i posted it. Not sure if my girlfriends photo is similiar to the one you posted though. Perhaps its nothing. But im still a little skeptical at the moment.

MMmmm... Probably, if there were other moons that close I guess they would be visible by everyone, everywhere.

Not something that could be 'hushed up' by TPTB.

Hi WhiteFeather, you might like these pics I took of the moon. All I did was take a 12 pixel camera and put the lens inside my telescope lens to get these shots. The last picture I used the zoom feature on the camera to get as close as possible.

This next pic was taken with the same method. This is Mars...see the moons off to the lower right of the planet... I thought there were three when I took this shot, but now I'm reading there's only two....I'm confused....

Great photos. Of course if you really have photographed a third moon of Mars, you are probably the first person to do it and you will be famous.

Post it on a serious astronomy website and see what they say.

Awesome Photos!!! Thanks for sharing with us. Please feel free to upload more if you dont mind.

Here's a few more of mars. They're not great pictures, but I'm hoping you can see the distinct three moons by the glows in the pictures. This makes me want to get a stronger scope and take a closer look. I find it hard to believe that someone else didn't notice the three moons as I did, especially since my scope isn't all that strong. I suppose it's possible that one is a reflection, but it sure as heck looked like three moons and not a reflection. Take a close look at these and see if you can see what I'm seeing.

Here's more of the moon, I think this is all I have. You know what was cool, when I first got this telescope I took it camping with me, well it was perfect because we were going the weekend of a full moon. So I had my scope all focused and I was looking through it just as the moon was coming up off of the horizon, and I'm not kidding you, a bat way off in the distance flew right in my frame so I could see it's black silhouette right against the moon. It was soooo cool. It was as if someone had pasted a perfect bat shape right on the bottom half of the moon. Sure wish I would have gotten a picture of that! I will try and take more this summer, maybe I can capture the moon when it's first rising as it appears much larger- hopefully it'll be orange, I just love that!

I never tire of looking at the moon, there's something very mesmerizing about it isn't there?

Question

if the moon does not rotate and therefore has no gravity , why is it that the surface is covered with dirt and rocks ?

hmm

Err... the moon does rotate - it's in a tidal-lock orbit which causes it to show only one side to the Earth.

Even if it didn't rotate, why should that prevent gravity?

(Or it's a hologram or hollow spaceship put there by aliens or made of cheese.)

so what is your theory why the rocks are still there ?

[Nick Matkin]

@ Nanoo Nanoo

Well, I guess when the Apollo missions went to the moon (oh yes they did!), their bags got full before they could collect the whole lot.

Anyway, it would have been greedy to take all the rocks; they had to leave some for the Russian, Chinese, Indians...

And there is gravity on Moon (I think it has about one-sixth the strength of Earth's atmosphere). Moon even has an atmosphere, but it is very scant.

Thanks for the photographs everyone. They are awesome.

I only photographed orbs once, but it had started to drizzle so it was definitely the moisture, not real orbs. That looks like a real orb in the photograph Moon.
