Apollo 17 UV experiment detected a hot-star spectrum at high galactic latitudes with confirmed absence of hot stars in the field of view, an unexplained spectroscopic anomaly unresolved in scientific literature.
Dick Henry, co-investigator on the UV experiment, presented the finding officially. No explanation satisfies both the spectroscopic match and the confirmed absence of source stars.
