Yes, it is suspicious that the Quickmap does not have this area imaged yet, but you could always ask the LRO team when they intend to fill in the gaps to Tycho crater and see what the answer is. Also, there may be other less pixellated images out there.

WHen you go to 100 feet of that area on the quickmap, it looks like rocks. Your image is from 3000 meters.

Hi there, Soylent.
Maybe the other images in that "old" thread I've posted are more intriguing.
The shadow and light "game", three circular structures inside the "base", and the parallel tubes seems absolutely unnatural.
When I zoom in on those coordinates, I don't see the same thing you are showing (maybe I'm doing something wrong?)
Did you use the "QuickMap" shown in the OP, and zoom to the highest resolution possible?
No I use the Jaxa/Kaguya image in Google Moon.
You can't see nothing in the "QuickMap" or "LRO" because exactly that AREA is NOT IMAGED.
Don't you think it is quite souspicious?

I ask because the images contained within the Quickmap website taken by the LRO are awesome and would surely give some indication of alien habitation if there were supposed to be cities and other structures on the surface.
Unless the whole thing is generated by some super-duper game background software, I think there should be evidence of aliens if they are there, dont you?

I am actually having trouble locating the equipment at every landing site. Considering I have worked in sky-rise buildings my entire career, almost, I know what I should and should not be able to see at 100 feet.

I know, it zooms in to an elevation of 100 ft with a 0.5m per pixel ratio. At that ratio I should be able to see tracks and equipment without issue, although semi blurry. Just to be clear, I am not saying they aren't there, I fully believe we landed on the moon, I am saying I am not experienced enough to find them.
Edit: And just so you know, that is almost the same quality as Google satellite view when you use maps.google.com, so it is a pretty good indicator of how the quality should be on an imaged area. (Google is generally 1.3 fpp)
I also don't see the point of your post. Obviously I was talking about the zoomed in elevation. Is there something you aren't understanding? We know the zoomed in elevation and the meters per pixel for that zoom. With that we can determine that these should be fairly good images of what the ground would look like if you were in a 10 story building on the moon albeit with less than 20/20 vision.edit on 17-7-2013 by raifordko because: (no reason given)

Ahh I see. Yes, I should not have said elevation. I did indeed mean the scale in that x amount of space = 100 ft. And I did intentionally mean to compare it to maps.google.com because that is also .5m per pixel. However, your explanation has now clicked in my head and I realize that I am actually viewing it from much farther away that I previously thought.
I said several times I am not familiar with this so I do appreciate the explanation, whether exceedingly douchey or not.
This is the Easterly longitude given by Quickmap when you click on the 'spot' identifying Tycho crater on the map. I just copied and pasted it. Yes, I could have given longitude relative to +180 -180 but since I gave the Quickmap link, it is better to go with that. Other maps use the other ways of expressing longitudes but they all should resolve to the same place. Not my problem but the problem is that science cannot decide how to express longitudes in a standard way. It is just like humans work in degrees, minutes and seconds but it is easier for computers to work in decimal degrees.
I think some people are confused by how Longitude and Latitude works btw. You should update your original post to include the numerical values which are (Latitude -43.31, Longitude -11.36)
North and East Lon/Lat's are characterized with positive numbers, South and West Lat/Lon are characterized with negative numbers.

Why would I need to comment on the picture? You seem to be implying I was denying the equipment was there, when that wasn't the case. I was saying I wasn't knowledgeable enough of moon maps to know how or what to look for. I wanted to know how to find them in the quickmap using the lat/lon that I posted previously.

Maybe if you gave me an image on the quickmap I would have said something. I want to use the quickmap with friends and I was hoping I could go to the specific coordinates and see the equipment using the quickmap.
