Who Do They Think They're Kidding?


Conspiracy theorists have had a heyday for years about the lunar landings. The landings weren't genuine, went their theory, and had been staged in a photo studio. Of course, "reasonable" people (like myself) have spent no time at all examining their evidence, because we believe NASA to be above that sort of thing.

Well, it's time to think again.

Unsettling evidence has been furnished by NASA itself, in its "Image of the Day" feature. A new image strongly suggests that their remarkable photographs of extraterrestrial geography are, in reality, phony.

The damning proof was a photograph described as being of a supernova:

More than four centuries after the brilliant star explosion witnessed by Tycho Brahe and other astronomers of the era, NASA's Spitzer and Chandra space observatories and the Calar Alto observatory in Spain captured this image of the supernova remnant. This composite image combines infrared and X-ray observations.

The explosion left a blazing hot cloud of expanding debris (green and yellow). The location of the blast's outer shock wave can be seen as a blue sphere of ultra-energetic electrons. Newly synthesized dust in the ejected material and heated pre-existing dust from the area around the supernova radiate at infrared wavelengths of 24 microns (red). Foreground and background stars in the image are white.

And this is the photo they gave us:


Yeah, right.

Well, you can fool some of the people all of the time, I guess, but you can put Sempringham down as nobody's fool. I know Photoshop when I see it.

There's no question that this is where that photo began:


In a bowl of Trix! Barack Obama has got his work cut out for him.
