Moon Zoom !

[PhillyDee]

It is nowhere near 1m per pixel. The info on the right hand side of the screen says it's 145m per pixel. The lunar landing site will be completely invisible at such a coarse resolution. You'd need around 50cm per pixel to be able to see and identify the landing site.

I didn't mean on this one, there was a pic taken to mark hubbles refit last year of the moon landing site, but I cannot for the life of me find it! It does show the outline of the struts that were left behind.
I think they managed to get it down to 1m per pixel.

EDIT: It was the LRO

I think the hubble did one as well, but I may have been mistaken.

Ah I see. But you wouldn't know it was a landing site unless you had the co-ordinates. That's why you'd need a resolution closer to 50cm per pixel to actually be able to identify that those are man-made objects rather than shiny rocks.

This is actually just an image of the blast shield covering the secret illuminati inter-stellar space craft.

Unless they have all been shopped out

It's inevitable, unfortunately. This would have had to go through many channels before public release.

What do you rekon made / makes the lines in this crater, especially the wiggly one?

 

[badcompany]

moon worm?

moon worm?

Where there are worms, there's spice. Sounds like a good reason for moon colonisation to me.

 

[raikesi]

wont load up for me. shame because it looks interesting

Probably some kind of vehicle. If not human then alien.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but surely a big hunk of rock smashing into the moon would create a lot of heat, melting said rock? And as the molten rock cools and solidifies, cracks appear in the surface of it? Cracks like that one?

As we've already found out, the resolution is 145ppm, so that little wiggly line is probably more like a canyon in reality.

I'm no astrogeologist, but I find that idea somewhat more plausible than the idea of LOL SPACESHIPS AND ALIENS.

Obviously GIANT vehicles, get with the program bro!

 

[OriginalJonty]

I see those devious Space Nazis have moved their moon base underground.

Don't let common sense get in the way - you're on GD, it's obviously aliens.

 

[Metalface Mark]

This should make finding evidence of alien inhabitance much easier.

could be huge boulders having been ejected from volcano's tumbling. Depends how close up it is.

 

[Casdawer]

I want a picture of the far side of the moon!

Couldn't resist...

Moon boobs?

More like cow pats.

Blimey, those Googlemobiles can get anywhere.

Indeed why have we never been shown pictures of the aliens moon bases?
