Lunar Anomalies #10

A couple of strange-looking rock formations on LRO dataset M1502007653RC near the edge of a very large crater:

Here's some closer views:

Lunar Anomalies #9

I'd sure like to better understand these dark circular areas (holes???) right in the center of craters.  I see these quite a bit.  Here's one of the latest from LRO dataset M1502002126LC:

Lunar Anomalies #8

When I look at a histogram of the data values, I get some very strange structures.  Here are two fairly typical examples:

This is just a normal histogram -- so the x-axis (range 0:255) is the data value and the y-axis (range 0:128) is the number of pixels that have that data value.  These are 64x64 subarrays, so there are a total of 4096 pixels represented in these histograms.

These are telling me that the distribution of data values has a varying structure.

Weird.

Here are the histograms of the top 225 of a section of LRO dataset M1502001921LC:

I know, hard to see any details.  The point is to show the distribution of histograms.

Not really sure what's going on here...

Lunar Anomalies #7

LRO M1502001180LC

Lunar Anomalies #6

Interesting shape of that object at 1 o'clock:

LRO data M1501994399RC

Lunar Anomalies #5

Again, not an anomaly per se, but still pretty cool looking.  According to a little bit of research (and thanks to Grok) they appear to be things called "Micro-Rilles" associated with volcanic activity (at least in theory):

Lunar Anomalies #4

This really isn't an anomaly -- it's just pretty cool looking:

This is in the LRO dataset M1502008085LC
