Objects I just found on the moon.

No idea where this thread belongs.

I also have no clue how to post the little degree symbol on coordinates, so I used a (*) instead.

I was looking on google Earth, Moon version for about 10 minutes when I came across this.

25*58'25.93" N 3*31'02.33" E elev -6018 ft

So I then decided to look around that same general area, and in no time at all, I found these, (alltho not as impressive as the first one).

25*52'33.76" N 3*23'58.82" E elev -6035 ft
25*06'53.28" N 3*21'00.80" E elev 169 ft
26*03'50.61" N 3*05'33.21" E elev -604 ft
25*55'34.01" N 2*59'19.09" E elev -6158 ft
25*51'09.71" N 3*00'19.66" E elev -6183 ft

I actually got bored looking for them. They were very easy to find. Surely i'm not the first to find these images, am I?

If I knew how to capture a photo, and post it, I'd post them all.

Also, I think it's fair to say I didn't just find ALL of these there were to find. Surely theres alot more to be found.

Mate, I'm not very good with computers, or the web.

Think Homer Simpson after a few duff beers and that's where I'm at.

Can you post any pics or links, I'd love to see.

No clue how. perhaps some enthusiastic ATS member will do so?

TO CAPTURE SCREEN-SHOT(S)


Go to the area that you want to take a screenshot of.

Once there, click the "print screen" button on your keyboard. This takes the screenshots.

Go to the "Paint" tool. Go to "edit" and then "Paste". There is your screenshot.

PS* For future reference, if you don't know how to do something...Google usually does.

I believe you have to download the google earth moon viewer program here Google Earth

then you have to type in the coorndinates....not sure if you can just past them...

Here's a similar image, in the same spot in 3 different shots of the moon:

The one you found is a little different but these aren't unusual at all in moon images, it's dust in the camera/lens. Here's a thread about them:

Here's one... WTF is that?

Heres the first one.



If it was dust, I dont think youd be able to see it. If I'm taking an in focus picture of an object thousands of miles away, surely a dust particle on the lense wouldnt be visable at all in the photo.

He's not going to take screen shots because there appears to be nothing at these sites...nothing to see here folks...just some empty coordinates...

It's not moon dust on the moon, it's earth dust inside the camera.

That looks like a pube.

reply to post by chrismarco


Well I stand corrected as noted above

In Google Earth, you do not need to enter a symbol for "degrees".

So, your first find would be entered as 25 58'25.93" N 3 31'02.33" E

It is pretty strange, but the low resolution makes it difficult to tell what is going on. I'm off to check the others now.

I understand that. But surely youre not suggesting a dust particle on or within the camera itself would show up as a clear image on a photo of a clear image of something else thousands of miles away?


Shoot, if I hold a toothpick in front of my camera, and focus it on something twenty feet away, you can see right thru the toothpick. Imagine a piece of dust, and thousands of miles.

Get real dude.

Here's a compilation of moon photos someone made showing another speck of dust:

Notice how it's always in the same spot in each frame? It's not on the moon, it's in the camera.

To find this effect you need to look at original images, the ones that Google Moon is based on.
