October 11, 2010 at 00:54NASA: space bases, aliens and conspiracy theories
The other day there was a curious and sometimes funny incident with one of the images of the NASA aerospace agency.
If you open the photo of the two moons of Saturn (Dion on the background of Titan) above in Photoshop and twist the contrast to the maximum, then all the “truth” will come out immediately:
The fact of retouching the photo was discovered by a certain DominatorPS3, he also uploaded a video to YouTube (now it is available here ), in which he tore off the integument. The video, however, was later deleted - its author stated that he was threatened with death if he did not remove the “evidence” - he had to comply (it is useless to compete with the government).
If you look at the black stains from a brush that erases an incomprehensible object on the dark side of Dione, you can see a rainbow halo, which immediately gives rise to supporters of conspiracy theories for fantasies about an American (Russian? Chinese?) Military base, an alien ship or some kind of mega the fields that they are trying to hide from mere mortals (by uploading a retouched photo to the NASA website’s “astronomical photo of the day” section).
The official reaction of NASA? You are welcome! Says Emily Lackdavalle, a female employee who was directly involved in the processing of the photo:
Cassini forms color photographs by taking three shots through red, green and blue filters. In the process of sequential shooting of three frames, the satellite of Saturn, Dion, moves and its position is different in all three photographs. If you simply combine all three colors, you get an incorrect photo with a Dionna, trying to get colored, so you have to combine the pictures manually by moving Dion and wiping the shadow in two of the three shots - it is this shadow that forms the rainbow halo that is noticeable in the photo.
But the guy could have been killed, if he didn’t remove the YouTube video on time ...
