The below website is from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). It shows pictures taken from their spacecraft that flew 100 km above the surface of the moon at the landing site of Apollo 15. It not only shows the "halo effect" of the landing site, but 3D images detail exactly the terrain from photographs of the mission which would have been impossible if not taken from the moon itself.
I've heard arguments that the photos from NASA's LRO could be faked since they were taken by NASA itself, but these photos were taken by a Japanese aircraft who would like nothing better but to prove the US did not land on the moon.
Hoaxer Theorists, please provide some kind of rational explanation that could continue to support this theory.

Thanks

Gee, I'd love to but first you will have to explain to me what a 'halo' is.

With my luck I would break a hip.

Thanks for the explanation. It's what I thought it was but I'm just not seeing it in those pics.

Hey, I may be ravishingly beautiful on the outside but I'm still old on the inside. Actually I am a dead ringer for what's her name.... ?

Good question ProfWag.

First, I'm not a moon hoaxer, nor an apollo believer. My position is that there are VALID REASONS for doubting the moon landing, but I am not 100 percent convinced either way whether they were real or not.

I am not an expert in this complicated subject either.

But to answer your question, I refer you to Jarrah White's videos about the Halo and JAXA and all that. He analyzes them in great depth and compares side by side photos and draws logical analyses. He's done his homework. So regardless of whether you agree with him or not, you should at least give him respect for all the hundreds of hours he's put into this.

Here is his ten part video entitled "MoonFaker - The Halo Addendum". I'm sorry that it is ten parts and hence 100 minutes, and you can only stomach so much, but what can I say? Give it a watch please. Here is part one of ten:

Btw, here is a preliminary analysis video, if you don't have the time to watch that ten part video on the halo.

Just curious before I delve deep into the Boy Genius, are there any reputable scientists who support Jarrah's theory?

Jarrah begins with a fallacy - only 1 light source. Let me give you a hint. Ever been out on a moon lit night?
