Venus is not a star. I shall repeat; Venus is NOT a STAR.

your other comments come in such a torrent, it's hard
to get any sense of them, re polarization e.g. but, see,
it's all relative to the *exposure*, which is made
so as to get a middling contrast of the data, and
unpolarized glare applies to every thing on Moon.

as for how UV affects the surface of Moon, I don't see,
how that could be very much, since there's little erosion:
all of the surface has been undisturbed & exposed
to UV for eons.

so, how can anyone seriously compare "natural versus artificial
lighting"
in a photograph, comparitiviely, whether or not the photographic set-
up
is known?

don't just photocopy my queries & then make your frenzied biolerplate
of "analysis." answer, one query at a time, the query related
in your own terms, conversationally.



Coal is actually much darker than our moon, at roughly an albedo of
0.1 or 10% reflective, whereas our dusty old moon average albedo is
0.11 or 11%. Now if Venus were in orbit of Earth so as to appear the
same visual size as our moon, we’d be literally blinded by the light.

Of course when that lunar terrain gets viewed and/or photographed
through a polarized optical element (such as while you’re situated
upon the surface of that nearly coal like moon), as such would have
made that coal look even darker, and otherwise rather especially
contrasty with having such a singular and nearly point-source of
illumination as represented by our raw sun illuminating upon our naked
moon that’s unavoidably reactive to such UV energy. But then if you
were a fifth grader you’d already know all of that.

Only the superior dynamic range of the JAXA/Selene TC(terrain camera)
makes the best of that otherwise extremely contrasty situation, as
well as their being able to extract or exclude the horrific amount of
that bluish/purple spectrum saturated environment, that’s directly
caused by the secondary/recoil from all of that raw UV energy, and
their HDTV cameras are simply having to entirely exclude the
mineralogy worth of lunar surface colors because of the saturation of
UV that skews most everything into the bluish/purple hue.

BTW, the raw solar illumination as having loads of UV is nothing at
all like the xenon arc lamp spectrum which illuminated the NASA/Apollo
moon, that which for the most part seemed to look almost exactly like
a modified terrestrial guano island that’s oddly now a UN member (made
so shortly after their loyal assistance).

Secondly, a fully 3D interactive version of most any orbital simulator
can place your eyes as though situated upon any planet or moon at any
given location per given time, as well as for looking off in any given
direction, along with most any specified FOV. Our DARPA/NASA has
always had this capability since the invention of the supercomputer,

thus:
did some reading, somewhere, and found that
it was actually Maxwell who seperated the "scalar" part
of Hamilton's lingo from quaternions. kind of interesting,
when you think about Kaluza-Klein & strings ...
may have driven Einstein completely nuts.

thus quoth:
We develop quaternionic analysis using as a guiding principle
representation theory of various real forms of the conformal
group. We first review the Cauchy-Fueter and Poisson formulas
and explain their representation theoretic meaning. The
requirement of unitarity of representations leads us to the
extensions of these formulas in Minkowski space, which can
be viewed as another real form of quaternions. Representation
theory also suggests a quaternionic version of the Cauchy formula
for the second order pole. Remarkably, the derivative appearing
in the complex case is replaced by the Maxwell equations in the
quaternionic counterpart. We also uncover the connection between
quaternionic analysis and various structures in quantum mechanics
and quantum field theory, such as the spectrum of the hydrogen
atom,
polarization of vacuum, and one-loop Feynman integrals. We also
make some further conjectures. The main goal of this and our
subsequent paper is to revive quaternionic analysis and to show
profound relations between quaternionic analysis, representation
theory and four-dimensional physics.

Finally, here's a clue for the Pythagorean pentagram puzzle.
To prove that Phi = 1 + 1/Phi,
show the length of the longest red interval here is the sum of the
lengths of the two shorter ones:

so, did you recalibrate the orbital constraints
in your JPL publicdomain trajectories,
to include the phasal parameter "as 'seen' from Earth?..."
was Venus closer to conjunction or opposition
to Earth, during those alleged missions?...

Where's Venus (from orbit or surface EVA) as
of missions A-11, A-14 and A-16?
