I dont think a second light source explanation is required. Look at the red lines of best fit i drew through the major shadows and you can see all the lines are quite parallel with that of shard shadow. No the shard is not a camera defect im convinced its very real object protruding from lunar surface.
Yes i know but remember that picture is only part of the bigger picture where the craters are clearly lit from another direction. This is what we need to explain. The crater shadows in the area of the anomaly is consistent with the anomalys shadow, but the other craters (from the full picture) are not, as phage pointed out.
We still see a faint shadow in another direction though(pointing to the left)
If you move the arrow you have made to other side of shard 3 oclock position thats the shard shadow
What you are pointing to looks like a shadow thats being created by a rise in the topology adjacent to the shard

Or it´s the other way around. The shadow that we previously thought was from the tower, may be the one due to the topology of the area, while the one Wolverine just poiinted out, is the ACTUAL shadow from the shard!
Well considering the horrible quality of this pic, i don´t think we will get much more out of this pic. We need a better pic, simple as that.
He saw women as the future leaders of the world (a better reason for men to neglect him just like they did with Alfred Russel Wallace).

Are there available *any* pictures of this thing, clearly showing detail proving it's a rock formation, and how high it is compared to the surrounding area? It seems like an anomaly this this would warrant such a photograph given how the entire moon has been photographed by now with the best camera technology available...

I also have reason to believe that the part (dot) of the "shard" which is ABOVE the horizon is just a coincidental artifact or maybe even a star, by pure random coincidence lining up with the lower part of the "shard" - resulting in that it APPEARS like a tall, vertical shard.
That dot above the shard looks like a star to me

For whatever little it may be worth, I emailed NASA's public inquiries office, asking if there are any further images of this region of the moon beyond those already posted and discussed in detail in this topic. It's doubtful, but I figured actually asking couldn't go amiss. I'll post any response I receive (with their permission.)
Which, by the way, is an image marker

Why did NASA put image mark above the shard ?

And you have a photo from a Chinese, or Russian, or European, or Japanese, or Indian moon mapping mission that also sees it? Please share it.
