The original image is from a scan made at Arizona State University. What you have "found" is dirt which was caught in the metric camera on an Apollo mission. There are many other examples. Many of them found right here on ATS.

Subsequent analysis during image reprocessing has revealed that during the missions foreign debris are present in the optical path of the camera system and can be seen in the seen in the photographic exposures. Selected examples of blemish features of this type are shown in Figure 2. A movie showing blemish movement can be seen here. While the image processing steps undertaken as part of this effort might remove some of these blemish features, users should be aware that blemish features exist and take appropriate precautions.

Take your pic SFX:
It is an image artifact.
It is a smudge on the camera lense.
It is actually just something NASA added to the image.
It is a peculiarity produced by a trick of light and shadow.
It is the product of a troll working at NASA AMES, possibly in collusion with Zorgon and his crew.
And finally - denial: I don't see anything that stands out in that image. Could you please circle it for me so I know what you are talking about.
