I have some fluffy cloud images for you to look at in that case, maybe you can interpret those for me...

Have you seen that alot of the craters shown have a different center?

Greatlakes, you promised me some fluffy cloud images. Are they going to be forthcoming?
The Control Valve
Again, any evidence to call this image a control valve? I have some fluffy cloud images for you to look at in that case, maybe you can interpret those for me...

Please send those 'fluffy cloud' pictures right along. Thanks.

But are they the highest resolution? If it hasn't been done before, viewing the .cub (cube) files, than it is certainly a worthy effort to try. Perhaps the cube files have not been touched, pristine images..? Counting on the fact that researchers won't translate the images....

OK, this was the best I could do, I am not very good with imaging programs.

OK. Let me respectfully ask you to show me.
Yes, that's what they look to me, that is why I said what I said.

Here ArMaP take another look. Here is an enlargement of AS8-12-2209. Now does this look like a 'splash of mud'? Does this look like "painting the ground with a layer of the material ejected from the impact."
Does this look like a case of the 'direction of the light could make them (the long narrow rays) invisible because they are not in a position to reflect light, the only characteristic that differentiates them from the rest of the ground being their bigger albedo."
I was referring to Earthbound fluffy clouds John

No. I don't think you were referring to earthbound clouds. You were referring to Zorgons post of the control valve. You said you could post some 'fluffy clouds' and Zorgon could interpret those meaning images from the moon.
Hansen's hypothesis about a breathable atmosphere on the moon met its end around 1870 when it was questioned by Simon Newcomb. Guess who Simon Newcomb was? Simon Newcomb was a Rear Admiral in the United States Navy. Can you beat that?

Yes indeed, and if it is not one of these, it still is an anomalie which doesn't seem to fit in the area at all.
If my calculations are right it is about 30meter/98.5feet height. Any link to the three others perhaps?

Cool project to be sure... but I know that THOSE particular .cub files are the same images. You need an algorithm to decode the real images. Sandia Labs has them, but as I understand it even having a copy of some of those algorithms could have you locked up...

No you can't actually think I was referrring to "FLUFFY CLOUDS" images that I had from the moon could you??!!
I wish I had some of those! Wonder how much those would be worth? It would be like printing press for money!
No afraid most that anyone has to our knowledge are images of puffs of vapor, or even jets of exhaust vapor in some images of the moon.
I posted some that I found some posts back.
I do believe there is some scant lunar atmosphere
, but the evidence either is not sufficient, or does not show that any non-trivial atmosphere is present on the moon.
Yes, that is what they look to me.

Seeing the effect the Moon has on Earth's oceans I would expect that the atmosphere on the Moon to be denser on the near side because of the Earth's attraction, like if it was a high tide.

This concept was originally proposed by the Danish mathematiciam Peter Andreas Hansen in the 19th Century. He had suggested that the moon's center of gravity was lopsided, so that all of the air and water on the moon had been drawn round to the farside. He speculated the the farside might even be inhabited.

The above information on TLP also agrees with my other posts concerning the make-up of the Crater and the material contained in and around the crater impact zone. Remember it was composed primarily of Anorthosite, which is 90-100% Feldspar, which fluoresces is iridescent and generally are some weird arse rocks
