This crater on the lunar far side is similar in age and size to the near- side crater Euler (figs. 137 to 139). It is located midway between the craters Becvar and Langemak. Thirty-six km in diameter, it was informally called the "Bright One" by the Apollo 14 astronauts because of its bright ejecta and ray pattern. The bright halo that surrounds the crater is about 150 km in diameter. Its brightness is not evident in this view because the picture was taken when the Sun angle was low. The radial pattern of dunelike ejecta around the crater is most apparent where the Sun's rays are perpendicular to the direction of ejecta flow, as in the lower part of the picture. The hummocky or bumpy floor of the crater is caused largely by material that has slumped from the walls.

When photographed with the 500-mm lens, the abundance of blocks (bright spots with shadows extending to the right) attests to the freshness of the materials on the floor of the "Bright One." Material that has flowed and in some instances formed smooth-surfaced "pools" is evident in much of the area. Arrows mark the edge of a major flow distinguished by its surface texture, color (in the original negative), location in a topographic low, and clearly defined border. Note that the abundance of boulders in the flow is much less than in nearby areas, presumably because the flow has buried most of the boulders in its path. Scientists generally agree that material has flowed here, and on the floors and flanks of many other craters, but the nature of the material that has flowed is a matter of debate.

That's what makes ATS interesting, anyone can join any discussion, and as long as they behave accordingly to the Terms & Conditions they can stay as long as they want, regardless of seeing Alien, man-made or natural structures, or just because (or even if) they are friends or family members of those posting.

Ah! I notice we have more joining the fray - the hidden Moon anomalists! They're all crawling out of the woodwork now! With their images of strange alien constructs like pyramids on the Moon!
I suppose you meant Pareidolia.
Have you heard of a psychological phenomena in which the brain recognizes certain shapes and patterns in pictures known as parodelia? Of course you guys have!

Bosnian 'pyramid'
And these ain't made by them aliens!

And I call PYRAMIDS!
In fact the Bosnian Pyramids are OFFICIALLY ARTIFICIAL!
Bosnian pyramids refers to an area located around Visočica hill (or Grad hill), in the Bosnia and Herzegovina town of Visoko, northwest of Sarajevo (located at 43°58′40″N 18°10′38″E), which became the focus of international attention in October 2005 following a news-media campaign promoting the false idea that it is actually the largest of a group of ancient human-made pyramids.
Scientific investigations of the site show that there is no pyramid there. Additionally, scientists have criticised the Bosnian authorities for supporting the pyramid claim saying, "This scheme is a cruel hoax on an unsuspecting public and has no place in the world of genuine science."
The 213 metre Visočica hill, upon which the Old town of Visoki was once sited, is roughly pyramid-shaped. The idea that it constitutes an ancient artificial edifice was publicised by Bosnian author and metalworker Semir Osmanagić who currently is based in Houston, USA. His subsequent excavations at the site have uncovered what he claims to be a paved entrance plateau and tunnels, as well as stone blocks and ancient mortar which he has suggested once covered the structure. Osmanagić has claimed that the dig involved an international team of archaeologists from Australia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Scotland and Slovenia. However, many archaeologists he named have stated they had not agreed to participate and were never at the site. The dig began in April 2006.
Osmanagić estimates that the Sun pyramid stands 722 feet (220 m) high (or, depending upon the report, either 230 feet (70 m) high or 328 feet (100 m) high). If it is 722 feet, it would be one third taller than the Great Pyramid of Giza, making it the largest pyramidal structure on Earth.
