The image in question is LROC image number nacl00000141 The description in the metadata is as follows: Uncalibrated view of the rim of Anaxagoras A crater.[NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University] I downloaded the full-size image at this link through the Arizona State University LROC Science Operations Center: http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/data/pr/tiff/nacl00000141.tif

Looking at the shadowing in the image, it seems to me that the light is coming from the left side of the image. This would cast a shadow of any object to the right of it. An object resembling stands a Tower is seen as a bright spot on the surface. Looking down the object looks to have 4 sides. However the interesting thing is the shadow that it casts.

The shadow of the tower appears to stretch out past the next shadowed area of surface. Going into a long, point. Much like a pyramid, but longer and more slender. I was hoping that with your experience you may be able to compare the shadowing throughout the image to an estimation to the suns position in the lunar horizon. This may lead to a better estimate of the height of the tower.

As you can see, there seems to be similar symmetry around the towers base. Please view my gallery on my facebook page as I will update new images to there as I continue to analyze the data.

  • Please check out the color saturated photo of the moon by Russell Croman . You will see the tower quite clearly. It is immense. Mr. Croman is one of the best astrophotographers around.

  • It seems the LRO crap will soon pretend to find "ancient alien" evidence on the moon as well the fake mars rovers too. Do not fall for this or the so called "alien" disclosure to bring in the 7 year New World Order.

  • @icewolf747s The fact that the different organized religious institutes, over all the time religion has reigned, have removed the sections of the bible best suited to their needs. Why wouldn't an informer, or spreader of truth like the churches, include 'the whole story' in a text that was meant for just that purpose? If they are doctoring the content of information that you are taking in, in any way, then they are controlling you.

  • @icewolf747s Its those that act just as you do that have lead me to believe that humanity is hopeless. Following beliefs with pure faith and no evidence is ludicrous, and for you to be so judgmental can't make you christian now can it? There are African cultures that have actually built small replicas of aircraft for religious ceremonies, but the airplanes were replicas of American Air Forces. They worshiped us because we dropped them canned meat out of the planes during the war.

  • @WVsonofliberty WHAT U MEAN OLDER THAN SOLAR SYSTEM LOL?

  • I love aliens . Except when i got abducted. Seriousely its true.

  • The only cosmonaut landing on the moon! Someday we'll get their bodies back to Earth. :-{

  • @fiesta1100 obiviously they are keeping secrets from us, i mean NASA pushs "martian" sightings and "monoliths"

    away, yet most of these are probably real.

  • @Robotasaurus - Oh, that's okay, I can make time in this instance.. If we substract 2 decades from your claimed "age" on your webpage, we can forgive where your "intellectual" rant comes from.

    Please have mommy & daddy move your computer in to the living room so they monitor your activities a bit closer. Now delete your webpage and do your homework!

  • god you ppl are stupid
