Warning: the Moon landing footage I analyzed at a local university archive had multiple lighting inconsistencies that changed how I look at NASA photos forever.

After spending 4 hours in the physics lab at Cal State Fullerton last month looking at high-res scans, I noticed the shadows on the lunar surface point in three different directions from what should be a single light source - has anyone else ever gotten access to original film and seen this?

That's a solid find you got there. Shadows pointing different ways always seemed off to me too. Glad someone finally got their hands on the real files to check.

Three different shadow angles in one frame bugged me for weeks before this came out.
