Apollo 15 panorama - matching the rocks to the hi-res LRO image

reply to post by denver22


Wildespace posted a pic of Dune Crater with black arrows pointing at what he claims are LRV tracks.
Then I posted the same picture with red arrows denoting all of the LRV tracks that Wildespace ignored.

We all might be suffering from an acute case of Apollo pareidolia. en.wikipedia.org...

The word comes from the Greek words para (παρά, "beside, alongside, instead") in this context meaning something faulty, wrong, instead of; and the noun eidōlon (εἴδωλον "image, form, shape") the diminutive of eidos. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia, seeing patterns in random data. Source en.wikipedia.org...

You certainly are.

I didn't ignore them, I just don't see them (even with your red arrows). But I see the ones with my black arrows quite clearly, and they match the traverse map. I won't blame you if you disregard my claim, it's indeed very hard to see any tracks there.

Even if some other nation sends a probe or even a team to the Moon again he will then fall back on they are working with the USA & NASA excuse.

The Chinese have sent at least 2 spacecraft to the Moon and (virtually) no images have been released. India DID work with NASA and they still owe us 40,000+ images after they downloaded them and then the spacecraft stopped responding (possibly mysteriously). That is a whole lot of photos which have been lost somewhere and would probably sort out a few anomalies. Japan JAXA has released some photos in HD but they are really pretty bad (cannot be enlarged much at all).

Take another look at the image. What do you really see? I see LRV tracks covering going in every direction. MY GOD IT'S COVERED IN TRACKS!

I'm not kidding you guys. I really see tracks all over Dune Crater!

You also see Richard Nixon hiding under your bed at night.

Guess who's having a birthday next week? Hint: He was the POTUS for all 6 faked Apollo lunar landings.

Once again, it's looking really bad for the Apollo cheerleaders.

Maybe you guys need to have a conference call this weekend... try to come up with some explanation for all these rover tracks and disturbed regolith on the south side of Dune Crater? Can't you get some of you jref or baut buddies to come debunk this one?

Ha. Look who's laughing now!

They are called image loss lines that happen due to image compression.

Looks like you may have found a new hobby. Since at this point you are grasping at straws, as evident from your latest posts, you might take up finding things in photos from Mars (that really is the more trendy thing to do now a days. Moon Landing Hoax is quite passe now, as also evident from the lack of new posts or discussion).

Just look around here at ATS. Since Curiosity landed, it has died down a bit, but there have been many threads started on that, and will still continue on in the future.

Or, you could take up a new crusade: Mars Rover Landings Hoaxes. I'm sure you'll find a way to tie Nixon to it.

So what you are saying is that the black arrows point to real LRV tracks but the red arrows point to "image compression" and "loss lines"? Is that it?


This is the pic I am talking about.

Trying to change the subject are you Erik? Trying to do a switcher-oo from Dune Crater to Mars? I see.

I think that's the 4th time you Apollo charlatans have tried to change the subject in this thread.

I'm afraid that the only thing I can see in your photo is sarcasm as indicated with the arrows (black or red).

And no, I'm not changing the subject. Just giving you a bit of friendly advice.

How does India owe you images,

Here is a link for YOU go read this thread and you can then look at hi-res images of the Moon and more are being added all the time.

I didn't put those black arrows. The OP put those black arrows!
Are you suggesting that the OP is being sarcastic now too?

I wanted to share something new with you, and thought it's best to post in this thread, as it's exactly on the same topic.

Yesterday, the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal page on Facebook shared one of Apollo 15 photos taken on the Moon, looking down the Hadley Rille:



There are some notably large rocks (even noted by the astronaut David Scott who took the picture).

From the Apollo 15 Image Library: AS15-84-11287 taken by Dave Scott with the 500-mm lens from Station 2, with a view to the north up Hadley Rille, showing a large collection of boulders, The largest of these is about 15 meters across.

123:03:12 Scott: Near the Twins (a pair of fresh craters at the edge of the rille near BW/64, about 4.5 km NNW of their current position) I can see several very large boulders. Very angular, and I guess when I say 'large', they must be 10 meters across. They're sort of unique in the bottom of the rille - in that particular area. The other ones look like they're a half the size anyway. And there does seem to be quite a bit of debris up there along where the Twins are, up on the rim.

A full-resolution (4175 x 4175 pixels) version of the image as scanned from the original film can be downloaded from

ALSJ guys asked if anyone could match those rocks to LRO images of the area. So, after a quick look, I was able to do so:



And here's a nice LRO image of the rocks:
