so, Moon looks bright at night, though "almost as dark as coal," because it's the brightest thing that you're looking at ... which also explains why the suits are so blinding, but, even so, the stars would not generally be visible in the *exposures* -- it's elementary photography stuff, common to all night-time exposures of "foreground objects" including moonscape -- between the suits & the "coal."
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.

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: 26) James Dolan and John Baez, annotated picture of Pythagorean pentagram, http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/golden_ratio_pentagram.jpg For more on the golden ratio, try "week203".

thus: 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?
