Pics that make me wonder

The indentation in the dust looks like the perfect shape for a trowel, could they have planted something there as part of an experiment? makes sense they would plant it in a shadow, the temp in the open can get unreal I believe?

As can "temperatures" in the shade. (Quotation marks because, since there is no real atmosphere on the moon, the only things that have a temperature are solid objects)

I have a theory- could it be a piton (sp) Like used for mountain climbing that has been stuck in the rock for some reason- and the other pics were taken before or after it was hammered in?

The piece the green stuff is hanging on looks metallic- They could be trying to widen a crack in the rock for samples.....
As for the green- it may have started out day glo green and a solid ribbon before the radiation, heat and airlessness started to erode the material, making it fray.....

Just my 1.5 cents. Do I get change, BTW?

Very interesting indeed. I have seen this picture in a documentary before, but that green thing looks really strange in high resolution.

I also noticed a kind of rounded unnatural shape beneath the rock. What is that?

am i seeing an upside-down "V", appearing to form a right-angle, on the right, on that rock?

It is a "M", see pic posted by Phage

Most likely an imprint made by one of there sample collecting devices.

From the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal

Boulder 2 was up on the slope and was about head high. We got a series of four or five samples, I think, and, as we'll hear described, we got a soil sample from a permanently shadowed place underneath an overhang.

Us people that use a newfangled contraption called a "camera" call those green streaks of light lens flare.

And based on the direction that the light source is coming versus the front plane of the camera's lens, yes it's set up perfectly for lens flare.

I 100% do not believe that you can grow vegetation on the Moon. In fact, I am so not in support of this idea that I could sooner be convinced of the following:

it looks like gumby. maybe it's a little a.i. machine that is powered by the alien civilization that lives on the other side of the Moon.

seriously.

I have a degree in photography and was a professional photographer for 13 years. That is not lens flare. I don't know what it is, but it's definitely NOT lens flare.

Here is a different view at this thing...

after 5 years at art school.... I finally get to put it to use!

Lens flare can take on all shapes, sizes, and colors.

Here is a photo of lens flare

The blue streak is similar to the green streak in this moon photo.

I guarantee you it's not lens flare. The object is triangular with a filament at the top, it clearly curls in on itself like a three dimensional object, it lacks any of the specular light qualities of lens flare, nor is it positioned correctly relative to the light source to be lens flare. Ask any actual photographer.

Or I guess my 13 years of experience and University degree in photography don't mean anything because somewhere on the internet you found a completely dissimilar image which in no way looks anything like the one we are examining. --- ??

Well it is not plant life. Plant life starts as a stalk then branches. It does not usually branch then form a single stalk. It is green. If it were plant life that would indicate photosynthesis. This alleged plant does not appear to be seeking the sun, quite the opposite. Maybe it's looking for the carbon dioxide.. I am going to guess scanning error, or Cher dropped her earring. I knew she wasn't from this planet!!!

Some gamma adjustment, and...:

The "green" is due to a scan or film flaw likely. It is not even "on" the rock, it is clearly in front of it. Otherwise, nothing there to see. Just a rock if you ask me.

from original image just bring up the brightness and adjust contrast, a scratch on film does not account for the purple colour, if it was simply shadow it would be shades of grey as per the rest of the image,

forget the location of the rock, if this was an image shown to you from say a desert or arctic what would you guess the purple and green to be?

Lichen/moss ? or image faults,
