Which is probably travelling at speeds in excess of 20,000 mph. Do the math.leopold99 said:i don't think i understand
a micrometeoroid could be no bigger than a grain of sand
i do believe those are reflections. the second one looks a lot like the gimbal meter (rotation measurement in the cockpit). the crescent-shaped object in the background looks like the service module, which is what they were trying to take pictures of at this point. this is when they had detatched the command module from the service module right before they made the descent to earth. they took pictures to try to assess the damage done.OLDGREY said:Hi guys! I'm back.
I've read your posts and I found them really interesting.
But let me say one thing, that "anomaly" or "ovni" (I think is more correct to talk about ovni!) was not the only one found during the Apollo 13 mission.

in the next (AS 13-61-8831) and in the previous photo (AS 13-61-8829) the anomaly is not present.

this one is a picture of the outside of the service module, the part that ruptured, spraying various metal objects, condensed gas, and other things into space which stayed with the craft most of the trip.btimsah said:What is this one?
that's my guess tooCommunist Hamster said:A reflection from the cockpit instrumentation?
they had lights on many things; the camera was moving around in zero g, and i'm sure you know that movement causes reflections to be moved around and to become smaller or bigger. perhaps the reflection was from the camera itself. obviously, if you move it to a certain position, they will disappear altogether.OLDGREY said:Ok guys, I could accept your answer but.....
but I think that before talking about a reflection we would better know how were the "buttons" of the apollo 13!
Why so different if it is the same "button".......or the "buttons" were flying?! and wa free to decide to apperar like two / three circles before enjoying together and appear like a kind of OVNI.
Why it was visible only in these moments? why?
Why the Astonaut wa shooting photos on that position?.....I suppose because there was something interesting outside, dont you?
which seems to be the best explaination.RoyLennigan said:that whitish crescent-shaped lump is the module.
