BTW, I could not accept any of the following as having a kernel of truth. All attributed to Hoagland:
LCROSS' secret lunar mission turns out to be, in fact, designed -- from the beginning -- as nothing less than "an official, clandestine, NASA
multi-sensor search for ... and scientific characterization of ... artificial ruins on the Moon"
This objective, of course, being deliberately complimentary to the primary "hidden mission" (again ...) of its companion lunar spacecraft--
LRO.
(What did you think the "reconnaissance" part of "LRO" really stands for ...?)
-----------------------
What's producing that?!
"That" is the combined effect of "countless numbers of semi-transparent, heat-radiating, ancient lunar structures ..." all blending together ...
along a substantial section of the horizon of the Farside of the Moon ....
-----------------------
highly demolished (but still physical) set of "elevated lunar structures" seen on the visible film--
-----------------------
Thus scientifically proving that there are, indeed, "ancient lunar domes and ruins on the Moon ..." -- apparently, a LOT of 'em ....
-----------------------
In this way, the LCROSS IR cameras easily confirmed not only the domes' physical existence (from their unconcealable thermal emissions ...), they
revealed a startlingly-wide surface distribution of these structures ... apparently, covering much of the lunar Farside!; curiously, the same
"farside" hemisphere which is SO visually different from the one that we've been staring at for tens of thousands of years ... the Nearside ...
with all those dark, enigmatic "maria
-----------------------
LCROSS made it the perfect spacecraft to explore in-depth "the structure, composition, distribution ... and perhaps even origins" ... of any lunar
ruins better-preserved near the lunar poles ....
-----------------------
"Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite" -- LCROSS
-----------------------
If the falling Centaur punched a hole directly through the roof--
Of some massive, ancient lunar structure ... located on the pitch-black floor of Cabeus!
----------------------
And, as a result, the Centaur's enormous kinetic energy was literally directed downwards ... into "breaking walls ... shattering interior structural
supports ... and creating a lot of debris ... inside a 'layered' underground bunker-like lunar complex ..." which, unfortunately, was hidden from
external view by several overlying floors--
----------------------
An enlargement of this image (below), reveals that this astonishing, repeating "rectilinearity" -- innumerable walls ... repeating right-angle
alignments ... overwhelming smaller geometric structures -- is now showing us the obvious--
The remains of an amazing, ancient lunar city ... on images officially released by NASA ... from LCROSS.
A city covering ... literally ... thousands of square miles of lunar surface!
