Looks like a fascinatingly shaped stony meteorite to me! :) If there is water on the Moon the song 'Moon River' may be appropriate! :oops: BTW, that is an interestingly shaped boulder to the rear, and what is the bright spot just beyond it :?:

Actually the water fountain on the moon is real; it is the astronaut who is photo-shopped in.

That picture is a fake.
For sure.

This is the authentic (missing) picture.
In faith! Real! Genuinely!

Sorry, but I cannot posting the picture directly, I am probably too stupid…

I heard that they found LGM's (little green microbes) in the water

I bet that water is contaminated with rcoket fuel; I heard they crashed a rocket in it a while back. :roll:

I agree with Neufer: There is no reflection of the fountain in the helmet visor so this must be a hoax !!

THAT is funny!

This image was sent in to us and Jerry went with it. I thought it timely considering the flood (ha!) of new water reports on the moon. If anyone can do better, APOD may still be on the web next year, so please start photoshopping your sense of humor now. Now that I think of it, this may really be a good contest for those so Asterisked.

Things like this need to be reported accurately in order to prevent chaos among the masses. The picture represents a little known occurrence during Apollo training. The story ran in a small community newspaper in norther Saskatchewan in January of 1966, and was entitled "During Water Break Training Astronauts Discover Lost Moon In Hallway: Name it Janus and Launch it in Orbit Around Saturn." I mean really, how far fetched is a fountain on the moon ... :wink:

I don't think it would taste too good; it would probably have that green cheesy taste. :mrgreen:

I don’t get it… how do the astronauts drink from the fountain? Is there some sort of Moon water cooler adapter for their spacesuits? Must be, otherwise it doesn’t make sense. I wonder if Moon water has a dusty after taste.

I believe this to be a hoax!
  • 1) Unlike the astronaut, himself, the dark side of the fountain is totally unlit by the bright lunar surface.

    2) The fountain can not be seen reflected in the astronaut's face shield.

You guys handle magnificent digital images every day and that's the best Photoshopping you can manage?

My wife, who is from Japan, said that despite knowing that US Astronauts landed on the Moon, she really didn't psychologically grasp it as fact until she saw the landing site on the HD video from the Japanese satellite. I told her, "So you could tell it was Americans because there were empty beer cans all over the place and "Neil" written in pee in the soil, right?" :mrgreen:

Apolloman, you are mistaken. Apollo 13 did land. They were on a mission for the CIA and didn't want anyone to know. They fooled EVERYBODY. The truth still hasn't come out even 40 years later. NASA puts out bad Photoshops like this to convince people that they're being honest about everything, and it works!

How could that picture have been taken on 4-01-1970(exactly 40 years ago) since there were no astronauts on the moon on that date. The only Apollo flight in April 1970 was Apollo 13 and of course, it did not land. Just curious.
