All assistance required in study of anomaly found in the lunar orbiter 1 image, I-102-H3
(it was pointed out to me by pretty ms truly of casebook)
and this is my research into it up to this point.

this is a “shrunken” view of the area of initial particular interest.

And this is the 'FULLSIZE' view of the anomaly in question.
(i have spliced and realigned the image as was out of place by two or three millimetre along the data sweeps,
other than that is completely unchanged)

possible formation of apparent 'structure'


(obviously, at least two or three images from different angles are needed to have an accurate idea,
and the intention of this post , so as to ask for help in locating accompanying images,
that either do, or don’t show the apparent ‘structure’ )

so far... all i can find is the other images of the anomoly NOT being there..

..but as i think nasa is full of ..it, i am searching for another image of it that may of 'slipped through their net',
if the'structure' actually exists.
******************************
Due to the importance of the image, it is in "GREAT IMAGES IN NASA" site,
and the highest resolution image link is less than half the size of main image used.

1- it is the first view of the earth taken from the moon, they have a high res image available in lunar orbiter gallery, yet not only do they not use it,

2- they show absolutely no reference to it,

3- and do not tell you the real image number so you could track it down to see for yourself



******************************
as best i can tell;
either..
A: nasa realised what was there by the time they were willing to release further imagery of the area, and hid the structure,

or B: it is an opticle illusion.

i am hoping for option A.
(might have something to do with the 1958 "Brookings report",
..and the fact that [sections of] nasa are full of ....)

and any help in confirming/denying the reality of this being a ‘structure’
would be greatly appreciated.

Well you have done your homework livo I will give you that.

I have always liked the earlier generation lunar images whether they be from the Lunar Orbiter series or rare as hens teeth Russia's Zond.

I don't know if you are aware of lpi's search facility but since you seem to have identified the nearest crater I did a search on Einthoven the results are posted below.

most appreciated, sherpa

will have a look through those images to see if anything of use.

*********

and i know what you mean about prefering to use the older images, and i couldn't agree more.
...as for (most of) those elusive blo@dy zond images..
seems the russians prefer to keep them cards pretty close to their chest, darn it.

thanks again for the links sherpa.
later nasa image, AS 15 PANORAMIC.
(Hmmm, they are not offering it the high-res version.)

will soon admit defeat, and get back to painting the garage.

************
had enough of later images.
'IF' it slipped through during the lunar orbiter missions,
am sure nasa would not be silly enough to repeat it with later releases of area.

it's back to the oldies for me.

Well I just KNOW that wasn't pointed in my direction...

Oh great just what we need ANOTHER Moon Thread




Nice presentation livo74...

Okay this anomaly was first addressed when John presented the book scans in the John Lear moon thread... Though due to lack of enthusiastic interest it never got fully explored....

The new higher res release is definitely useful... I haven't had time to compare all the areas of interest but enough are there ...

Now this structure in this version is very good... almost better than the 'compound' in the Apollo 11 Daedalus Crater image which I will toss in here for comparison



Here is the original we showed from LO-I-102-H1



Here is my enlarged version


Color Highlighted


Labeled to show that the entire structure is within one scanner strip from the video scan of the original negative left on board the Orbiter



Now livo74 said he couldn't see the anomaly in the other photos... and proceeded to show us low res versions... but if you look closely at those images, you will find it..





Despite the poor resolution, the anomaly still appears as a rectangle. This is one think we look for when hunting. In the lower res version they satnd out clearly. Then if it holds up in the higher res versions you have something... as in this case





In the above two Apollo versions, though you cannot see any details, both images show a pronounced rectangular area. Assuming the locations are correct this makes it a very interesting find.





In the above two even poorer versions you can still see the little rectangular area... so it seems that in all the photos above there is clear evidence of something rectangular in that region

So now then anyone want to find my spheres on the high res version





All in neat rows in the last one. Here is one on Earth...

jeez your anal.(it's not being precise, it's being anal)
you knew exactly what i meant by saying this ain't 'another moon thread', yet you had to push your point.

and it was to avoid the mess a standard 'moonthread' creates,..
eg: "..a thousand people trying to study a thousand different anomolies at the same time in the same".
that i started this thread.

so i did not appreciate you rolling your eyes.

(and you do have a 'tone', buddy.
i think it's possible that most people just don't have the balls to point it out to you.)

****************

zorgon, i require your help;
with this thread to see if we can shove it up nasa's a#@;

..and also in my other project i hold dear;

...so pleases!!!! i will be more precise, and carefull,
and you be nice! please sir.
