Thanks telfrow.<br /><br />There has been enough stupidity on this thread. The 'towers' & 'dome' as<br />MeteorWayne correctly said are where missing pixels have been filled in to<br />smooth over data gaps. Also there are serious image compression issues in which <br />a portion of an already compressed image has been blown up. Because<br />data is missing already due to the original compression, an enlarged cropped part of that same<br />image will look, well messy to<br />say the least.<br /><br />Once again thanks for your link telfrow.

If you click on the photo that comes up on the link I provided (which doesn't seem to be working very well right now) you will be able to see the smaller, individual photos that make up the mosaic. Interestingly, no "towers," but there are sections that have no data. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <strong><font color="#3366ff">Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yeild.</font> - <font color="#3366ff"><em>Tennyson</em></font></strong> </div>

That quote from "skipper" illustrates the whole prblem with the conspracist mind set. He sees areas of poor data and immediately assumes that it is evidence of tamering. Why can't it be just poor data? The is the simplest and most likely explanation. Those features don't even look like towers, just swaths of poor data.<br /><br />Jon <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Whether we become a multi-planet species with unlimited horizons, or are forever confined to Earth will be decided in the twenty-first century amid the vast plains, rugged canyons and lofty mountains of Mars</em>  Arthur Clarke</p> </div>

Both these "features" are on the visible side of the Moon. the "tower" is about 1300 km north and slightly east of the dark floored crater Grimaldi. If the "tower" were a real feature it is about 10 km across and at least 50 km high, scaling very roughly from the image. A feature this big would be easily visible through even a supermarket telescope and cast enormous shadows at sunrise and sunset. A tower like this would have been spotted back in the 17th century people like Riccioli (who mapped and named much smaller features) and visible to tens of thousands of amateurs today. Buy a telescope yourselves and go and look. It will post less than a 10th of what a new computer will cost you.<br /><br />Jon<br /><br /><i>edited for spelling</i> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Whether we become a multi-planet species with unlimited horizons, or are forever confined to Earth will be decided in the twenty-first century amid the vast plains, rugged canyons and lofty mountains of Mars</em>  Arthur Clarke</p> </div>

Zen:<br /><br />Those are rocks in those image. Your point?<br /><br />You still have not answered my question as who you believe this demonstratable nonsense frrom Hoagland. Towers tens of km high on the visible side of the Moon that can be seen only in poor quality reproductions of the Zond 3 images and not the original data? Come on! You think you can smell rats in countless images from NASA, ESA, and the Soviets. But you believe Hoagland when he prints utter nonsense like this when all you have to do is go outside with a small (2")telescope you buy at a supermarket and prove him wrong?<br /><br />Jon <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Whether we become a multi-planet species with unlimited horizons, or are forever confined to Earth will be decided in the twenty-first century amid the vast plains, rugged canyons and lofty mountains of Mars</em>  Arthur Clarke</p> </div>

I am going off line until next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Jon won't be back for several days.<br /><br />Remote Sensing involves sensor suites that sweep back and forth, or side to side, just like a pushbroom. The images are then merged together to create a full panorama of the area you're imaging. If you look carefully at the image posted by Mental_Avenger, you'll see the joins. In fact, you see this with many large-coverage images.<br /><br />Somethines they don't merge perfectly, and you get anomalies.<br /><br />That's all, really. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
