What's going on in Copernicus crater?

Take note of the towers showing in the lower foreground.

I see no towers.

If you wear glasses, maybe they are dirty.

Those are not "towers":

Take note of the towers showing in the lower foreground.

They are flaws in the image. Many of those photos, depending on the satellite that took them, have similar vertical marks on the photo. This is well-documented, and those who are familiar with the technology are well aware of this. I am quite certain that it has been discussed at great length, and posted in multiple ATS threads.

IIRC, it is due to the movement of the photographic paper, as it is scanned onboard the spacecraft. Resulting in the transmission of the flaws to the receiving stations on Earth.

That is what I remember reading, and others can confirm this, perhaps with more technical jargon and specific language to describe it.

I suggest you use the images on the thread pointed out by zorgon, those images are much better than the copy you are using.

As for what the photos may show, I already answered that in that same thread.

ArMaP, Interesting that you should point that out.

That's where the image came from in the first place.

Sorry, I didn't recognised it, the one you posted looks like a bad photocopy of the original posted on that older thread.

Also, why did you convert the image from a lossless GIF to a lossy JPEG? It doesn't make any sense.

Here we go again arianna how are they going to hide the shadows in this one then, you don't need your fake 3d version just a nice clear picture!

The images are hi-res jpegs. If you want to see them as gif's I will see what I can do when time allows.

Here is an animation of the close view but don't be surprised if you see some facial representations.

As can be seen in the animation the objects and other features are more important than chasing shadows.

I still see the rocky moon. Where again are these supposed "towers"?

You don't mean those thin white vertical lines on the photo, do you?

You made an animated GIF.

Fabulous.

NOW....please show similar Earth-views, at SIMILAR resolutions, so we can ALL see how "structures" appear, and how signs of "artificial" structures" also appear.

Thanks, in advance.....

These threads crack me up. If someone were to present photos of the earth's surface from a similar distance as these pics that were taken of the moon's surface, it seems to me there would be little doubt whether there were "structures" visible on the earth's surface. So why is it we find ourselves dissecting pics of the moon and having so much difficulty trying to decide if something is a friggin' rock or a building? It's the MOON for God's sake, it's a hop skip and a jump across space! It's not like it's PLUTO! If there are buildings of any sort on the moon, it's hard for me to believe we could haven't captured a clear photograph of such a thing in the year 2011!

I guess the idea is that these things are very old and have been damaged so much by constant meteorite impact over the last billion years or so that they're practically unrecognizable. How something like a tower managed to survive that long is anybody's guess. Maybe they're not a billion years old. Maybe only a few thousand. Also maybe force fields (why not?).

I'm just hoping somebody (I don't know who that could be) can help pinpoint some of these features by drawing ellipses on every square centimeter of the images.

Unless what is really there is being kept from us.

Well since you claim buildings are there we should be able to chase their shadows shouldn't we!!! Have you booked the eye test and refresher course on photoshop yet?

Thanks for the humor.
It was nice to have a laugh.

Arianna, are you serious? No-one seems to be able to see anything unusual in this photo but you. All I see is the usual jumble of lunar debris. At least Zorgon posts pictures that show some sort of definite, identifiable shape that we can all agree on, then we can argue over whether it's just an ordinary boulder or a robot head. Could you at least describe what you think you see, or perhaps make a sketch that will help us understand what we're supposed to be looking at?

LOL....At least you caught it before it went to Internet heaven.

I think the OP might be talking about this odd looking thing, which I've indicated in red. This was discussed on John's thread and called "The Crane" if I remember correctly. It's interesting that this thing is casting a shadow to its left.



Edit to add: The shadow cast to the left gives this thing the "appearance" that it's a self-standing structure.

I don't really want to see them, as I already know them, I only think that turning a perfectly good image into a format that has known problems is not the best way of analysing any image.

I wouldn't be surprised, that's the way our brains work.

PS: why do you have that "obsession" with JPEGs? They are better at reducing file size on colour photos by losing some data, but if a GIF or PNG file size is something workable, it's better to use them. You could also work with lossless TIFF files, but they are not "Internet friendly".
