Astronomical pictures, like observational astronomy and photography from space exploration, show astronomical objects and phenomena in different colors and brightness, and often as composite images. This is done to highlight different features or reflect different conditions, and makes the note of these conditions necessary.
The sunlight reflected from the full Moon onto Earth is about 1/250,000 of the brightness of direct sunlight in daytime. Since log 2 (250,000) = 17.93..., full-moon photography requires 18 stops more exposure than sunlight photography, for which the sunny 16 rule is a commonly used guideline. [1]
One branch of amateur astronomy, amateur astrophotography, involves the taking of photos of the night sky. Astrophotography has become more popular with the introduction of far easier to use equipment including, digital cameras, DSLR cameras and relatively sophisticated purpose built high quality CCD cameras and CMOS cameras.
Armstrong was also tasked with taking lots of pictures during the mission. That's why almost every NASA Apollo 11 photo you see of an astronaut on the moon actually shows Aldrin, and not Armstrong ...
Photos taken by the India Space Research Organization moon orbiter Chandrayaan 2 recently show aerial images of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12's lunar landing vehicles.
These values are appropriate for pictures of the Moon taken at night with a long lens or telescope, and will render the Moon as a medium tone. They will not, in general, be suitable for landscape pictures that include the Moon. In a landscape photograph, the Moon typically is near the horizon, where its luminance changes considerably with ...
The last supermoon of 2024, known as the beaver moon, was captured in stunning photos on Nov. 14. Stargazers have a chance to view it at its peak illumination on Nov. 15.
Despite its historic nature, the primary goal of Apollo 11 was simple; to achieve a landing and then safely return. All other aspects were considered as bonuses, including the Extravehicular Activity/EVA on the surface (AKA Moonwalk) which was kept to the barest minimum of placing a few experimental devices, grabbing a few rocks, and taking a few photographs.
