Why don't you keep reading. Armap was kind enough to do the OP's job and actually look for those pictures.

Well I'm glad someone did because you seemed keen to be as unhelpful as you possibly couldThen you missed the point entirely. The claim that there are no available images of the area is groundless and was made with no effort to look for any. In order to "deny ignorance" I provided some resources and information (none of which are difficult to locate). In using those resources themselves the OP and others are likely to learn something in the process (including something about the geography of the Moon, which is pretty cool).
To be honest I had to stop reading as I was cringing at your repliesThat would be a personal problem beyond my control but trust me, I receive far worse than the "snarky" replies which I'm accused of.

The OP pretty much started the thread to ask for help for a high res image and finally got it by the sounds of thingsNo. The OP started the thread to say that no such images were available and to imply that NASA was concealing information.
My question is why with all the Nasa probes that have been sent to the moon manned and unmanned we still dont have one decent detailed picture of this thing?
No i havent because i know they are not been made available in the Public arena yet. Why do i know because i am certainly not the first person to be seeking more detailed pictures of this anomally.The OP "knew" no images were available even though he had not looked for himself, nor made any inquiries to the dreaded NASA. He was relying completely on the "work" of others.
If the OP found the site user unfriendly maybe a few hints and tips would have been more helpful than..... "Wah wah wah. Poor Baby."I think you're confused. That reply was not to the OP. Apparently the OP didn't bother with the LROC website. Did you even read the post I was replying to? The member stated the website was not worth the effort to learn how to use. Do you think they would be responsive to any "hints and tips" from me?
What do you think?
On the second point your absolutely spot on your manners are appalling

Where are the earlier photos you refer too that do not show this anomaly? Can you point me toward them?
you would need to accept that the spikes around the core exist
there was a planet in the solar system that blew upThere is such evidence, sort of. There is evidence of collisions in the early Solar System, not exactly planets blowing up. The original planets remain more or less intact though very beat up.
Lunar Orbiter III is known as the site-confirmation mission. It was tasked to re-photograph 12 potential landing sites identified by LO I and II with a comprehensive array of vertical, oblique, and forward wide-angle stereo and convergent telephoto stereo photography. These data led to a down-select to eight candidate landing sites for early Apollo missions. This mission also targeted secondary sites of scientific interest on the lunar farside and at higher latitudes on the lunar nearside. The spacecraft was launched February 5, 1967. Between February 15 and 23 it produced 211 photographs during 54 orbits. Approximately 75% of the photographs were transmitted to Earth, but the remaining images were lost.
This is the general theory on how our moon was created.Not exactly. The giant impact theory is that a small planet collided with the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago, pretty much destroying itself and remelting the Earth in the process. The debris formed a ring around the Earth which coalesced to form the Moon. Tiamat is the creation of Zecharia Sitchin.
Lastly could you please post the high res image of the so called shard or a link i have only ever seen the low quality one.You're in luck. The highest quality image I know of was just linked (again) 4 posts up.
