Gigantic alien structures in Herschel crater - Apollo 12 image, page 1

I have discovered this fantastic clear image of the Herschel crater on the moon, taken by the Apollo 12 mission. The crater is 40 km in diameter, so the structures inside it must be gigantic.

I believe the structures are artificial, not natural.

The image can not be found at Apollo Lunar Surface Journal (I wonder why...) but I found it at a site called Sky Image Lab. Link to the site: www.skyimagelab.com...

Here is a cropped version of the image AS12-50-7431:

Yes, there certainly are large structures there, but nothing other than entirely natural ones - it's really no different to any other large crater:

lvo.wr.usgs.gov...

nasadaacs.eos.nasa.gov...

woodshole.er.usgs.gov...

All of those have various matter in the bottom of the craters, but nothing to suggest any artificial structures..

Hi, I have looked at the images you provided links to, and I agree that these structures look natural. But I think the structures in the particular Apollo 12 image that I posted, doesn't look natural at all. That is my opinion anyway, and that was why I wanted to share the fantastic image with the members here at ATS.

Best regards, Ziggystar60.

Thank you for your comment! I am well aware that most people are not capable (or perhaps not willing?) to see anything unusual in the images I have posted here or in my other threads. And that is quite all right with me - but I still think it is important to make the images known. Myself, I had no idea what amazing things I would find when I first started studying the images from our beautiful and mysterious moon.

Best regards, Ziggystar60.

Hi, I have cropped the image just so I wouldn't have to circle it. the structures are inside the outline of the crater itself.

The only other image I have been able to find whichs also shows the structures, can be found at Wikkipedia. (Search for Herschel lunar crater.) You can see the strange structures there too, but this image if of poorer quality. Take a look for yourself:

I didnt see to much unnatural either but in stoo's post of photos I did see something unnatural. It looks like roads to me please tell me this is not on another planet:

Well it would still help if you cicled the specific bits you think are artificial.

Here's another one with little to no shadow. I'm still not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

Crop from the hi-res


Herschel is a complex crater, and what we see inside it is the central peak.
The shape and the distribution of the central peaks are subject to several different variables,
like impact angle, strenght of the impact, composition of the soil etcetera.
For this reason you won't never find two identical composite craters.



An example is Bessel


Another one is Euler


Another one is Copernicus


Another one is Tycho


There are MANY examples

The central peak is an ordinary feature in the larger craters,
and the central peak of the one of the OP doesn't look less ordinary than the other ones i've seen so far in lunar craters.

Hi, and thank you very much for your long and informative comment. I will also thank you for giving me your opinion without any kind of personal attack. I understand that there are many craters on the moon with large and strange formations in them, and in the images you posted, I agree that the formations look quite natural. It is just that in the particular image I posted from Apollo 12, the structures doesn't seem natural at all to me.

So we just have to agree to disagree on this subject, and I totally respect you opinion.

All the best to you from Ziggystar60.

I see a crater????

So do I. A crater with gigantic artificial structures in it.
But thank you anyway for taking a look at the image I posted, I just want people to be aware of these features. It is of course up to each person to form their own opinion about them.

Best regards, Ziggystar60.

But don't you think there's an obligation to support your claim when you start a thread? It seems like your threads always go the same way - a picture of an obscure rock followed by multiple requests by members to explain your claim that you never really address, except to say it's your 'opinion'. I'm pretty sure if I posted a picture of a housebrick and claimed it was an alien artifact, I'd get a warning for baiting or trolling. If I did it in every thread I'm pretty sure I'd be banned in a hurry. I don't see any difference in what you're doing.

Are you serious? Do you really think that I should be banned from this forum because I have posted images that I think will be interesting to look at for the other members? Perhaps you can give me a guideline to what kind of threads I am permitted to post? What kind of images am I allowed to post, in your opinion? What kind of subjects I have your personal permission to talk about or discuss?

And by the way, it is impossible for me to say excactly what these structures are, or what purpose the have or may have had. I am a human being just as you hopefully are, I have never been to the moon, I have no idea what kind of technolgy an alien rase may have. All I say is that I think the structures are artificial, but it is quite all right with me if you think otherwise. I will never put anyone on a ignore list or pick them as my foes just because we disagree about something.

Best regards, Ziggystar50.

Are you serious?

Yes, I am serious. After a page of responses it's obvious you don't intend to to even indicate what's supposed to be different about this crater than any other. The thread starter does have an obligation to explain their claims, purposely avoiding it is a clear sign that you're just trolling and wasting everybody's time.

Don't bother with the rest of the fluff, I don't care what images or topics you post but how you post them. It's a discussion board, if you won't even tell us the reason you started the thread, what's to discuss?
