Fasten your seat belts boys and girls. This is getting way way way crazy. The LAM 2 map, the one I like to call the "J Map", is fraudulent. There are TWO TRANQUILITY BASE SITES ON THIS MAP. Don't believe me? I'll show you how.

Look at the top of the map there. To the right of June 1969, you'll see 23 30' 00" E(I added the seconds for clarity) . That looks to occur roughly at longitude line 7.6. The last time I used this longitude line in a calculation, I called it 7.7, but 7.6 looks more appropriate to me now. No big deal, as you'll see, for the purposes of what we are doing here, calling the mark there 7.6 at the top, where 23 30' 00" E occurs, will give us good reliable numbers. Looking to the far right at the top, but just to the left of the LAM 2, one finds 24 00' 00" E. So 30 minutes of arc are divided among 15.4 lines of longitude and one gets; 30 / 15.4 = 1.95 minutes of arc per line of longitude. In my last long post, I was using 1.96, but again, no big, and it does seem the 1.95 probably is the better.
Now note, with each line of longitude representing 1.95 minutes of arc, one should find the halfway point between 23 30" and 24 00" at longitude line; 15.35. And sure enough it is there, just to the right of the 1:100,000 designation.
For the latitudes, going from M to U .75 is 15 minutes of arc or 15 / 7.75, so I get 1.935 minutes of arc per latitude line going from M at 00 45' 00" to U .75 at 01 00' 00".
So these numbers are a little different, though very close to the last ones that I used. The numbers always come out to be about 2 minutes of arc per edge of a small square. Doing it over and over, up to a point, verifies my estimate.
So my "squares" are not quite squares, but are close at 1.935 minutes of arc tall by 1.95 minutes of arc wide.
Now according to NASA's official decree, Tranquility Base is at J .65 and 7.52. From the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal;
123:55:36 Evans: Roger.
It's just west of West Crater, Juliet 0.5, 7.7. Over.
[Details from Figure 5-8 (top) from the Apollo 11 Mission Report and from the flown copy of LAM-2 (bottom) show the area immediately around the LM. The center of West Crater is at about Juliet 0.54, 8.03, Little West Crater is at about Juliet 0.64, 7.58 and the actual landing site is at about Juliet 0.65, 7.52. Mike plotted the J.5/7.7 location on the flown copy of LAM-2, with the notation 'Last Best Pos Prior L/O', where 'L/O' is (LM) 'lift-off'. The distance from the LM's actual location to J.5/7.7 is about 230 meters. This location is almost certainly from P22 data from use of the Rendezvous Radar to track the CSM. With the CSM orbit well know from tracking a certain small crater with the CSM sextant, the calculation was run backwards to determine the LM location. See the discussions following 121:00:34 and 121:07:37
Since one knows J .65 is also 00 41' 15 " N, being the latitude coordinate of Tranquility Base, and since latitude line J is 0.65 X1.935 minutes of arc below 00 41' 15" north, one can readily determine the J latitude line to be just about 00 40' 00" north, right on the button.
Here's where it gets very very very interesting. If LAM 2 Map/ "J Map" longitude line 7.52 represents 23 26' 00" E, then LAM 2/ "J Map" longitude line 8 will be 23 26' 00" E plus 0.48 X 1.95 minutes of arc = 23 26' 56" E. But how can LAM 2/ "J Map" longitude line 8 be 23 26' 56" E when we began with 23 30' 00" E at 7.6 ? In other words, if one places Tranquility Base's longitude at 7.52, then 23 30' 00" no longer makes any sense as marked on the map as it would then be west of 23 26' 56".
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
We can figure it out by first focusing on the "J Map" as originally labeled, with 23 30' 00" E being located at 7.6 . Given this labeling, with 23 30' 00" E at 7.6, one would then find Tranquility Base's longitudinal coordinate , 23 26 00 at 7.6 minus 4/1.95 equals 5.549. Now, Tranquility Base's latitudinal coordinate will of course remain the same, J .65. So we see that if one works with the map as labeled, as originally gridded, with 23 30' 00" east at 7.6 and 00 40' 00" north at J, the Eagle's landing site, Tranquility Base, falls at J .65 / 5.549 A POINT OUTSIDE THE TARGETING ELLIPSE ALTOGETHER ALTOGETHER ALTOGETHER!
Given the way the map is/was originally labeled, J .65 / 7.52 should actually correspond with 00 41' 15" north and 23 29 51" E. So this is nothing less than a sensational find. NASA makes/made the claim that LAM 2 Map/ "J Map" coordinates J .65 and 7.52 corresponded with Tranquility Base so as to FORCE THE COORDINATES TO FALL WITHIN THE PLANNED LANDING ELLIPSE. This way, it would appear the "photographic evidence" for a landing at Tranquility Base, is photographic evidence of a landing at not longitude 23 26' 00" east, but rather 23 29' 51 east. So in order to make things "fit" NASA, the "INNUMERATI" and Map scam artists, simply called J .65 /7.52 Tranquility Base, and said it was at this position, because if they had told us the "truth" about the numbers anyway, we would have discovered 00 41'15" north and 23 26' 00 east, TO THE WEST OF THE PLANNED LANDING ELLIPSE CONFIRMING THE FRAUDULENCE OF THE APOLLO 11 MISSION.
Well!!!, better late than never, the thing is 100% fake and we just proved it!!!
