These are all 3 different pictures from 3 different sources.

>>18925410
he means earth's moon, obviously.

>>18925400
Moon is a hologram or science is lying?

>>18925433
or the pictures are mislabeled, or taken from an angle not completely opposite our visible side.

>>18925400
>3 different sources.
What are the other sources? (besides Wikipedia)

>middle just looks shopped to me.
There's clearly a seam down the middle, it must be 2 or more images pasted together.

>>18925448
that's how they're done, satelite takes a picture of part, then another one, and another one, and they are made into a composite.

Well, one and three look the same - as in, I think that whatever took those two photos just took them from different orbits/angles: the "skull" cluster of impact craters that are front and centre in #1 are top right in #3. #2 could easily be at a high resolution or put through a filter to see some other detail - you can find pics of most of our system's planets put through different filters/spectrums to illustrate different things. What things, I don't remember, I'm not a space dude.

>>18925448
>>18925453
Yes, the seam! If this is how the photo is made, I don't buy it. I want an organic photo.

>>18925444
These photos appear to be organic, but from what angle? Surely there would be feature you could line up and compare with the photos? Or even with the side of the moon we do face?

>>18925468
looks like you have a new hobby then.

Yes, this is what I would think, but the discrepancies are far too many.

Maybe if the rock were rotated so that these two objects were the same crater? Doesn't seem quite right.

Here is a laser scan from the Clementine Laser Image Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) experiment. Does it match with any of my sample pics? I believe the data is overlayed on a separate image, possibly one created by nasa.

I suspect the one on the right isn't a back view, but more of a profile. The grey regions on the upper right my be on the side facing us.

The image on the left is definitely NOT the rear side of the moon. You can clearly see the recognizable dark features visible from earth. It appears to be taken from an angled direction.

Another named map of the near side for good measure.

>>18925468
Dude.
It's a composite because there is side illumination to specifically show the relief of the craters.
If you have side illumination, this means that the side of the moon opposite the light source is in shadow. That's right, like a half or three-quarter moon.
So if they wanted to show you a pic of the entire moon, with those nice relief shadows everywhere, they'd have to shoop two halves together, one side with light from the left side and the other with light from the right.
I have astronomy books from the fifties that show these style of composites and they point this out in the caption.
If you ever have a chance to see the full moon through binoculars or a scope (if you can stand the bright glare) you'll see that the lack of shadows washes out detail, so that's why they traditionally composite from phase photos.

If you're puzzled about the positions of features, I don't have time to explain but for fucks sake google "moon libration". You might have to get your head around planetary geometry but please give it a try. This is SO early-twentieth-century news to any beginning amateur astronomer.

Here is a video of the complete rotation of our moon, as made by composite from images taken by the LROC wide angle camera.

Here is a page detailing how they made it:

>>18926058
As anon said, you won't see any (or as many) shadows in the composite video above because the LROC WAC is taking pictures from directly above.

Looks CGIsh as fuck.

You can tell by the pixels, right? Here's an example of the pics taken by LROC before they are composited into a single image.

>>18928654
You can't probe LROC exists.
If it exists, you can't prove these are authentic images.
I won't believe shit unless the time comes when I can launch a nanosat to lunar orbit and livestream on my own.

That's how you know the other guy won the argument

>>18928700
Authenticity doesn't exist. It's an Illuminati lie.

>>18928700
You can't prove the LROC doesn't exist. The argument goes both ways.

Your argument is comparative to "I've never left my country, and you can't prove that china exists".
