In the images transmitted by the Jade Hare, the surface of our the natural satellite for some reason appears brown, not gray.
The Chinese lunokhod “Yutu” – “The Jade Hare” – became the first the apparatus that made a soft landing on the moon after December 1972, the last Americans left her – the crew Apollo 17 – Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt.
In December 2013, a successful lunar hare transmitted pictures from the place of arrival. And they resurrected the debate that had subsided what color is the moon? In Chinese photos, it is brown. In the sky – silvery. About the same color of the moon and in numerous pictures, made by american astronauts directly on the surface our natural companion. This surface is either white or grayish-silver in the sun. And in the shade – dark.

The Chinese photographed the surface of the moon and without a “hare” – she brown.

That something is wrong with the color of the moon for the first several years back said a famous American researcher of abnormal appearances of Joseph Skipper. He blamed NASA for the trick. Like, for some for a mysterious reason, the agency processed the lunar images laid out on official sites in the public domain. From all corroded the real color of objects, making landscapes black and white. Like in the old movie.
Skipper’s suspicions were reinforced by the image he found among those which were made by the crew of the last Apollo. In the picture Eugene Cernan – sets the American flag and himself photographs, holding the camera on an outstretched arm. Schmitt walks around lunar module, which is located in front of both the flag and the spacesuit astronauts learned bright and colorful. And the lunar surface is black and white. As usual.

But look at the glass of the helmet. It reflects the lunar module, and the surface on which he stands. The surface is brown. How on 2013 Chinese pictures. And it looks like this is the real color The moon.
“I don’t know why NASA bleached the pictures,” says Joseph. Skipper. – Probably, they are hiding something. After all, as a rule, cleaning the natural color of the object, mask its structure. And the structure in in turn, can give out some details that should not fall into the view of the uninitiated.
According to the researcher, part of the photo with the flag is simply not processed by oversight. And the catch was revealed. And the Chinese in general nothing was processed. They did not know what was supposed to be. Americans their did not warn.
All shades of chocolate, not gray
In favor of the fact that the moon is brown and members crew of Apollo 10. Then in May 1969, the pilot of the lunar module was the same Eugene Cernan, commander – Thomas Stafford, pilot command module – John Young. Astronauts chose a landing site for Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, who were the first to set foot on the moon after only a couple of months.
Cernan and Stafford undocked from the command module and approached the surface at 100 meters. Examined her color in details. What made up the detailed report. AND photographed.
In the Apollo 10 crew report, sorry for the pun, black on it is written to white that the moon is sometimes light brown, now tan, then the color is dark chocolate. But not at all gray.

And in some pictures taken from the Apollo 10, she generally green with bright red blotches.
Strange, but the photos of Cernan, Stafford and Young became the last, on which the moon had color. Next, starting from the first landing Americans, she became black and white.

By the way, astronauts with Apollo 17, right next to the landing site. On earth accepted enthusiastic and many times repeated shouts: “I can’t believe … This is unbelievable … It is orange … As if something is here rusted. “It’s about the soil that astronauts are trying to collect in the bag. She must have been brought to Earth. But what of yourself represented by the find, no one has yet reported.
INSTEAD OF COMMENT
There is some secret here. USSR pilot-cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who was friends with Stafford, explained to me about the color of the moon in in due time: it’s all about the film that was shot, and surface reflectivity.
“Each person perceives the light in his own way,” Alexey said. Arkhipovich. – One seems to have a brown tint, another – another shade. And photography is artificially invented layers. Any film is three colors. And a combination of three colors. The result depends from processing. Depends on the angle of the light flux. One position luminous flux – one color. The sun rises – a different color. The same color surface may reflect depending on angle – different wavelengths. And this is a different color.
I believe Alexei Arkhipovich. But still I do not understand: first the moon reflected so that it was brown, and then began to reflect so that became black and white on color film. And now she is brown again – in Chinese pictures.
There is some secret here. Or is it some kind of catch?
