The moon is something of a pet subject of mine, so I can give chapter and verse on this one. Google Moon images are taken from a number of sources, most of which are old analogue photographs. This particular frame is from the mapping camera on Apollo 15, back in 1971. This camera was part of...

Was it actually a coloured halo or simply a brighter patch? I have certainly observed the latter in fields of crops or long grass. It's caused by the fact that directly down-sun of the observer, each stalk of grass/corn is hiding its own shadow, so the overall brightness is higher. It's called...

In his own words: One thing I am particularly good at is spotting things, and building a picture from small clues, and forming theories about what is going on. That is from this page detailing Ian's beef with David Lim, which I find quite fascinating as it shows how even within the chemtrail...

I'm almost inclined to agree. He apparently thinks the protests over Gaza are just designed as a distraction from chemtrails! Can anybody really be this obtuse?

I just thought it was relevant as it is the same person. Perhaps his earlier threat is not to be taken seriously, if he posts stuff like that.

Yes, that is how I read it. All chemicals are poison! Putting CO₂ in H₂O — oh no!

I don't think that image is being presented as anything other than a composite.

If you look at this guy's Twitter account, he's clearly pretty far gone. Or an elaborate troll account.

I was just watching the final episode of Michael Palin's Around the World in 80 Days, filmed in 1988, and there were several nice contrails. The most obvious came right near the end over London, it crossed the entire sky. I'll try to track down a screenshot, but if anyone has it on DVD it is...

I tried the ice budget argument on a chemtrail believer. The response, in toto, was: "Your argument is logical, but wrong." Some people have an allergy to learning. :)

It's not unusual at all, that's my point. Jimi seems to think that if he's not near an airport then he won't see contrails. My point is that planes flying over my head can be flying from and to airports thousands of miles away. I live quite near to the two main London airports. But the planes...

Does that have an app as well? I like FR24 for its very intuitive "augmented reality" feature that just lets you point your phone at the sky and it tells you what the plane is. Even a chemtrail believer could understand!

Serious question: has anyone actually cornered any of these clowns with an iPhone running FR24 and showed them what these planes are?

Now THAT's a photo analysis I'd love to see! I suspect we might be looking at a Father Dougal moment (sorry, in-joke for British/Irish TV fans...)

Well what difference does that make? When you fly halfway across the world, for what proportion of the time are you near an airport? In any case, planes don't leave trails when they're taking off and landing (barring very few exceptions), only when they are at cruising height! Look, here's one...

Sheesh, why didn't Tineye (or I) find that? Thanks Mick.

Any ideas on this? Tineye not much help and reverse image search doesn't seem to work on Google on iOS.

A nice pair of sundogs over London, taken from Southwark Bridge this evening.

A bit of unintentional humour, but I had to share. Someone calling themselves "The Weather Watcher" on Twitter posted this flight path as proof that the "chemplanes" are circling in our skies: Umm... Let's have a look at that nasty sprayer...

No, I don't have an account. Are you sure you selected "Upper Air"? When you choose "GFS" you should then get more pop-up menus out to the right, firstly for the region, and then when you hover over that one, you get a second one offering "Multi-Variable (NVEP Clone)", "Surface" and "Upper...
