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

Lunar Anomalies #3

This was discovered because it is the highest ranked 'not the moon' (64x64 pixel) image section in the input LRO image:

Lunar Anomalies #2

Top 225 sections that are 'not the moon'.  Highest is at top left, and then moves right and down.  This is from the LRO dataset M1502045101LC, and is my section 'c'.  These are 64 by 64 pixel sections, which work out to be about 50 meters by 50 meters.


The locations of the 225 top 'non-moon' areas are marked in red.


This is the sorted MSE plot:


Here's the same image, but my section 'd':
