Would not it be even nicer if we would find and describe the cinematographic technique they exactly used.
In the photographs there are layer upon layers upon layers (I have been able to count up to six).

In the video takes reel has already shown there was a backdrop being projected on a screen when the astronaut from apollo 17 bumps against it and suddenly changes direction.

The transparency of the nuts in the Apollo 11 tv transmissions makes me think the landscape was being projected ONTO them nuts, in this instance. What you think?



PS. I got sick of staring at that rotating backdrop
