Fluorescence is an effect created by high energy light usually UV exciting particles in the rock causing it to glow, and depending on the content it can be VERY bright especially if Uraniun salts are present... (or Thorium which seems to be abundant on the moon).


Maybe you didn't read this:



Some LTP phenomena may be caused by sunlight interacting with the lunar soil. On October 30, 1963, James Greenacre and Edward Barr observed red spots sparkling on the southwest wall of the crater Aristarchus, the east wall of Schroter's Valley, and a hill between them (S&T: December, 1963, page 316).

The phenomena was observed visually by others and recorded spectroscopically as well. At the same lunar phase a month later, Greenacre and Barr saw a similar event. Since sunrise on these features occurs when the Moon is about 11 days old, Greenacre thought that the low lunar Sun was somehow responsible. Indeed, thermoluminesence mat be the cause. Gases in the lunar soil, frozen during the night, could heat up and escape near sunrise.

Could high-energy solar particles impacting the Moon also trigger LTP activity? Shortly after a large flare erupted on the Sun in 1963, Zdenek Kopal and Thomas Rackham at Pic du Midi Observatory in southern France photographed a local brightening around the craters Copernicus, Kepler, and Aristarchus. Kopal proposed that energetic particles from the flare caused lunar rocks to fluorescence. Such activity might be expected especially at full phase when the Moon passes through the Earth's magnetosphere, where solar wind particles become trapped.


In addition, direct from the Chandra Observatory (yes I know, more ESTABLISHED science for you):

Chandra has been used to prospect for elements on the Moon. Oxygen, magnesium, aluminum and silicon were detected over a large area of the lunar surface.

The lunar X-rays are caused by fluorescence due to the impact of solar X-rays on the surface of the Moon.

Fluorescent X-rays give a direct measurement of elements present, independent of assumptions about the type of mineral or other complications. When longer observations of the Moon are made with Chandra, they should help to determine if the Moon was formed by a giant impact of a planetoid with the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago, or by some other process.

Can it be any plainer than that for you? Perhaps you should stick to...well whatever it is that you do...and leave the science to the experts.

Its a really cool program I have it all downloaded and running on my computer. Its great for identifying craters etc but they are still to small.

But if you have space I would definately recommend it its a great Atlas for finding your locations

Not enough detail for anomaly search though

So you have to understand that Zorgon is way ahead of of you and not tolerant of your inconsistencies and erroneous information. He is not petty and childish, he is just calling a spade a spade.

If you want to bow out gracefully we will understand. If not, you will have to account for your dishonesty and misrepresentations because no matter how long it takes Zorgon will call you on every one of them. Understand? Thanks.



PLEASE EXPOUND ON MY EXACT POSTS AS BEING BUNK. Because frankly I believe your posts to only be SCIENCE FICTION and I have presented VALID, LOGICAL and RESEARCHED information that many readers I'm sure would agree.

As far as whatever figments of your imagination of "good cop / bad cop" paranoia that you state, I suggest you PRESENT PROOF of your ACCUSATIONS or be within violation of T&C RULES. I have stayed within these rules. If you think that rilance and I are somehow in collusion in your PARANOID mind, I suggest you open up a line to a MODERATOR, S.O. or any other of the Three Amigos and present your shoddy information to them, please, I invite you.

Otherwise, I SUGGEST YOU DROP YOUR PARANOID DELUSIONS NOW. Oh BTW, perhaps it is YOU who should bow out gracefully, I will CONTINUE to call you on everything that I find erroneous and TABLOID-LIKE as well and continue to "DENY IGNORANCE".

AGAIN PLEASE, PLEASE show me your EVIDENCE of my, as you say, DISHONESTY and MIS-REPRESENTATIONS that have been made by me that were NOT honest mistakes and/or corrected.

No, No, Thank You.

We've (or at least, *I*) have already went through every single picture and file they have at that site.

It's interesting but not great. NASA's whirlwind prgram is probably a bit better, but not by much.
