LRO: 1 mile straight line on anaxagoras rim

Hi

I was looking for some pictures of anaxagoras crater on LROC website
LROC Image Search

when I found this 1 mile long and about straight line in the rim of anaxagoras crater.



image extract from
LROC Observation M102220533R

If someone have any skunking or not idea to explain this line ?

ok i cannot see what you see. .

but i can see a bloody megolith to the far right of the pic. wtf is that?

lol how can you not see a straight line?
interesting, thanks mixmix.

what are your thoughts on it?

that is pretty long.

I don't know what it is but I can definitely see it.

I also see the monolith on the right side of the image and it appears to me that the straight line almost leads you right to it, or just south of it. I can also see a ring around the crater where the line originates on the left side of the image.

In the area of the monolith it looks like there are some more faint lines arranged in a five sided fashion resembling a coat hanger.

That's just what I see, does anyone else see it? Or know what it is?

I can see a line that travels from one dark area to another. Everything else looks normal to me. The line appears to be caused by some kind of space swamp gas.

a rolling stone but it looks too long and too straight.
or the stone is a sphere.

and I don't see any special "megolith".

any idea is welcome.

Sometime there are lines where the images are "stitched" together, but that one looks too wide for that.

Lots of strange things in and around that crater. Would be nice if the slimes at NASA would turn loose of the high resolution photos I am sure they have.

a zoom on the left part with the ring.
is it a hole or a shadow in the ring ?

the line look an alignment of small crater.

The size of the line is near 1.5 miles.

The boulder trail is not really straight and you can see where the boulder bounced.

Here is the boulder at the end of the trail.

I am just curious Phage, but can you tell me what the mechanism is that drives such a boulder across as shown a pretty large distance covered with holes and such?

The boulder trail is not really straight

It's just a picture not a projection map.
So I will not loose time about really or not straight without 3D.

You have choose another upper left for your line.
The original line is out of your picture.
sorry.

BTW, it's a interesting answer.
Perhap's you have found the first boulder.
But it means that there are 2 lines (2 boulders) aligned on 1.5 miles ???

My lines is red
your line is green

The crater walls are steep. Once a boulder 3 or 4 meters across gets moving down a slope a few irregularities aren't going to stop it until it reaches the bottom.

I have shown different parts of the same track because the full track will not fit in 600pixels in full resolution.

Why do you draw two lines when there is only one track?

OK
So It's a rolling boulder on 1.5 miles

And this is a shellfish shadow ?

What the hell are you talking about?
What does a rolling boulder have to do with a shadow or shellfish?

Well, that’s looks very logical to me, thanks.

There are no hills in this picture and there arent many on the moon does it even look like a hill to you. how would a rock roll theres nothing that would cause that since there is no wind. it would be a rock bouncing all over the place and that line is perfectly straight for 1.5 miles tell me a time when u saw a rock roll down 1.5 in a straight line and their bumps it would throw the rock off so you would be able to detect it. I dont know how that line got there but there is no way a rolling rock did it.

We are looking at the inside rim of this crater



There are many boulder tracks on the Moon.

I agree, it' a trail from a moving rock.

It's 1.5 miles long because gravity is very low on the Moon, and there is no resistance from air because there is no air. That would mean any little bump that rock hits will cause it to get more air time (less contact with the ground and less friction/resistance), and travel further than it would on Earth.

These could be meteorite's. Since the Moon doesn't have an atmosphere they don't burn up and they hit the moon and skip across the surface (maybe).

To be more precise.
It's anaxagoras A crater.
