[TCML] Re: The current recordholders?

[Jeff W. Parisse]

The angle of the photo is kind of funny. The arc, however was measured by 
eye witnesess.

Bill can elaborate on the photo and measurements if he wants to. I don't 
think he has the time/energy to go over this again.

BTW, some of the photos from the moon landing made it look like shadows ran 
counter to the sun.
