Shrike, your gray scale Aristarchus image demonstrates why this USGS data archive is so important. The public has been misled unto thinking the moon is gray by color desaturated images. (snip)

Here's what Aristarchus Crater really looks like, not that fantasy blue image that's obviously been colorized.

The public has NOT been misled by NASA at all. There are plenty of lunar photos taken with color emulsion film from orbiting astronauts to astronauts on the lunar surface. You claim is bogus. Below are two lunar photos taken by astronauts using color film and the surface is grey!

REPORTS of curious flashes and fleeting clouds on the Moon may not be figments of wild imaginations, astronomers say. A new look at observations by the American satellite Clementine show that a small area on the Moon's surface darkened and reddened in April 1994. Why this happened remains a mystery.
For hundreds of years, people have reported seeing flashes, short-lived clouds and other brief changes on the Moon's surface. But astronomers have never been able to confirm the sightings. "The events were observed on many occasions, but most astronomers don't believe in them," says Bonnie Buratti of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. On 23 April 1994, around a hundred amateur astronomers reported seeing a possible darkening of the Moon, lasting 40 minutes, near the edge of the bright lunar crater Aristarchus. At the same time, the US Department of Defense's Clementine satellite was mapping the lunar surface.
Monument? Sigh. You do realize you're looking at the surface from the top, there is no 3D structure in the surface discoloration you think is a statue.

Sorry Keyseeker, I've enjoyed the thread so far especially with Zorgons input but sadly your claim is like one of those ink blotch tests, you see what you want in it.

Thank you Zorgon, those images are beautiful. My OP was just a tiny corner of a larger image. I'm exploring the dataset now ... will post more soon.
Why bother? You blew it with your OP, you spoke loud and didn't say a damn thing! Look at the replies you've received because your thread title has been misrepresented. You're not going to find any " Monuments, Conical Towers and Gem-like Domes". You're just dreaming and thinking that you can fool us. You've failed. Better men have tried and they also came up short.
If any mods are reading this, wrap this thread up, it shouldn't be allowed to continue, nothing here to discuss.
