ResumoAnalysis of discoloration patterns on the camera of the spacecraft Surveyor 3, after the Apollo 12 lunar module landed nearby, indicates that lunar surface particles were eroded and entrained by lunar modute exhaust during the landing and were ejected almost horizontally at 70 meters per second or faster. These particles struck the Surveyor camere and whitenzed its surface.
