But still people write things like "oh I bet its an automatic spacedock used by the Venusians to land their triangular crafts".
And so what if they do?
What difference does it make if people are having a bit of fun, even if they're wrong.
This isn't a pure science website, and never was...too many members treat it like it is though unfortunately.
What members like YOU should remember is the motto of this site which is DENY IGNORANCE so if it has been shown that the op is mistaken in his assumption due to the quality of the image others are quite right in pointing it out to members that don't bother to read posts made after the op before replying to it.

It's the result of image artifacts, and has been covered before here on ATS.
Here's an example side by side comparison of a poor image from Google Earth, to a highly detailed image by the LROC:
Not a UFO....not a structure......not a cave.
It's image artifacts.
My thoughts exactly! Thanks for your input.
What's the chance of seven image artifacts all lining up in two straight lines? Are you so desperate to find a 'rational' explanation that you are content to ignore features that fly in the face of any natural formation or process creating image artifacts.
The trouble with the logic of such an explanation is that it is ad hoc, being concocted with no supporting evidence merely to avoid having to take seriously the possibility that the anomalous image indicates the presence of some kind of sophisticated intelligence on the Moon. Implausible, ad hoc explanations explain nothing despite creating the illusion of doing so.
NO whats obvious is YOU don't have a clue how digital images work!!! As the level of zoom in the op picture is CLEARLY showing the pixels/jpeg artifacts etc of the picture and NOT details.

That's what I think. If this is pixels or Jpeg artifacts, then why aren't they all over the place? Although I have no proof to back up my opinion, I think this is something more than just an optical illusion. The seven lights are too distinct, IMO.
On January 10, NASA's Wallops Space Facility in Virginia made a sudden announcement, with only three days advance notice to the public, saying THREE rockets would be launched from Wallops between January 13 and 15, between 1:00 AM and 5;00 AM on a classified Department of Defense Mission.

Oh grow up...what are YOU six years old or something?
Stop behaving like a petulant child and get a grip of yourself...some of us come here for enjoyment, not to stifle it.

Below is a link to a higher quality image, and map of the crater in question. It is Belyaev, on the edge of the Mare Moscoviense, on the farside of the Moon. It is 54 kilometers in diameter.

I was hoping that a link like this would help clear up the discussion, however, if you click on the crater closeup....

I don't know why the image in the link won't enlarge. Even at the size available it seems to clarify the matter somewhat. Another, larger image of crater Belyaev is available at:

I can confirm they are here to pick me up. I don't have an interstellar vehicle anymore due to the insurance, so I had to bum a ride from a buddy of mine.
