Title: P2F6C1I2: NASA 70mm 64mp scan
Post by: apollo16uvc on September 23, 2017, 03:27:47 PM
Could someone help me identify this picture? what is the black object in space?

The spacecraft doesn't look like Mir or Skylab. The "stepped" shape almost looks like  a Zvezda ISS module except its the wrong colour.

I guess the object you are talking about is the elongated black spot just below the horizon to the left of the axis of the spacecraft? Are you thinking Black Knight?

That's an Agena docking target from the Gemini series. You can see the nose of the Gemini spacecraft in the foreground.

The object? I don't know but they did release radar reflecting 'balloons' to practise (practice?) rendezvous on... however since this is an Agena mission, I wouldn't think it is that.

Haha no, I was talking about the space craft. The black spot doesnt show up in the NASA scan, so it must be an artifact made by copying with dust somewhere in the chain.

Or...

A coverup!
