Space/Science » in reply to Who or what took this picture and where on the Moon?

basic observations, or perhaps ... Clues

The "picture" is a MONTAGE, so we should perhaps distinguish between capture of the original frames, and later composition of the Montage?

The ANGLE of the component frames is significantly inclined. No human would do that (we have a strong horizon-finding sense)

So therefore it's a ROBOTIC lander.

The body is the MOON (trust me. If you REALLY need to ask WHY, we can discuss)

The FLAVOUR of the pix says "USA" not "CCCP" (lenses, exposure, contrast, bandwidth...)

My money is on one of the SURVEYOR landers.

since the URL is "http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/11/17/45/70/s7imag12.jpg";

I'd go for Surveyor Seven

Where? When?

Let someone else get credit for that. I was 9 years old at the time...
