I know you've mapped the site, based on the panoramas, and I may not have communicated how dubious I am about this "candidate object."<br /><br />I would think particularly the west wall of that shallow crater would be obvious, too. I can think of a number of ways why it would be more obvious from a height than from the POV of the Luna 9 camera.<br /><br />I wonder where Samuel Lawrence has marked candidate objects, and yourself, if you've had the time. I wish he's update that list they published in April 2010! Guess they figure these sites won't be going anywhere.<br /><br />Amazing how elusive some of the impact sites have proven to be. The best site I've found for Kaguya, for example looks like a subsequent minor landslide covered the expected evidence.<br /><br />Again, thanks for the comment.

I am a bit dubious about this because it sits in a small crater, which I think would be obvious in the panoramas. <br /><br />Phil StookePhil Stookehttp://publish.uwo.ca/~pjstookenoreply@blogger.com
