Is that a shadow the long line you think?

whatever that black stuff is , it's darker than some of the deepest shadows on that picture , even a trench would show signs of light gradation, maybe its a huge deposit of Onyx or something far darker

the links to the pictures drop up a lightbox slide show , is there somewhere to download the pictures in the highest res possible ?

You are always my source of such answers. I just grabbed those links from this thread.

much better res



seems like a different area though, what is that ?

funbox

It seems there is luminious material (or objects) scattered throughout the terrain. This picture in particular grabs my attention.



If you look closer there are numerous areas of interest in and around that crater.

My thinking is the very bright spot in the middle is the object, and the collection of bright spots to the right are reflections. What is the sun reflecting off of? Who knows. But whatever it is, it's highly reflective.

May have been said a million times but an artificially illuminated city would not light up like that in daylight unless it was covered in a mirrored dome.

Although if I were building a domed habitat I would build it in the center of an impact crater because the lower odds of being hit by another meteor like lightening striking same place twice.

Any other reasons the middle of a crater is a good place to build? Shelter opposed to non crater? Maximum daylight providing you must build inside the crater.

Lowest place accumulates most moisture/heavier molecules?

Btw I don't think it's artificial, will happily eat my hat, but I'm going for ice/glass'type impact heat reaction or the planet is made Of Quartz and we are about to discover more gold that will trigger a gold rush 21st century style with prospectors trying to fire themselves there in homemade rockets and scuba tanks!

Guys n gals... I found something else while staring at goats:





Any suggestions (except that I am -indeed- completely nuts)?

a reply to: angryhulk

There are bright spots all over, similar to those you posted.

Here is an image that was re;eased last month that shows other areas that are overexposed to the point of looking much like similar "bright spots". I've marked them with arrows in the image below:

Edit to update:
Here are cropped enlargements of the other bright spots marked by the arrows on the PIA19570 image above:

I was thinking more along the lines of Casper the silhouetted friendly unicorn, do you know if there will be anymore pictures from this oddball moon ?

funbox

If the lights show a city, then we can suppose they are aliens and know we are photographing them and so either want us to know they are there or they don't care.

Or...It's a prison colony and they know less than us.
