You have to admit the moon imagery from the US is pretty cheezy, especially when the military/NASA have the capacity to produce images of excellent resolution and quality.
25cm resolution is not "cheezy", that's the best LROC provides. 50cm is not "cheezy" either. This is an image from GeoEye at 50cm. Not really that "cheezy".
What is it you want or expect to see? Rocks the size of a hand? That's what you'll get with 5cm. What's the point?
In any case, all of the LROC images are available for our examination.

It seems highly suspect however that so many images are uploaded to ATS that are of extremely poor resolution of the moon when these much better images are available.

It's just that people really think of Google Moon/Mars as a "tool" instead of a toy. It works fine for locating an area of interest but once you start overzooming it's not so good, certainly not better than the source images. Not understanding how the zooming algorithm works leads to a lot of false "positives".

I just wonder if they have every "piece" of the moon's surface rendered

Not yet. At 25cm there is a lot of ground to cover.

Thx for your opinion.
The other people, more smart and skilled than me, like, Zorgon, Mikesingh, Easynow, RUSSO, Exuberant1, watchZEITGEISTnow, Internos, and many other, are banned or they have abandoned ATS deliberately.
They have left the foxes guarding the henhouse...
"And Then There Were None..."
Very strange things on ATS, lately.

Cool image. You can see the shape of the structure and as for the broken "svastika" why not. If there was intelligent life there at one point then such a simple symbol could have been used in some form or another.

Looks like NASA has cataracts. Can't they spend another hundred dollars on a better camera? Their salaries are so high that they have to buy inferior equipment.
With the zooming it's hard to tell. How big is it? six inches wide and twelve inches long?edit on 4-6-2012 by rickymouse because: (no reason given)

It's neat how someone can blur a picture and make it look totally different. Wizards Ploy is usually a government or advertising/Media thing.

The bluring is because of Arken NOT NASA here is his OP pic
Here is the same location if you looked for the better image
Arken zooms in to much so you loose detail that way he can connect his dots and colour in what he wants to see
As for telling how big objects are the NASA HIRISE & LRO sites give you the image resolution so if you have either Photoshop or the free photosoftware called G.I.M.P they have measuring tools, so you can work out the approx size of an object.
