So when [mailto:johnmcconnell9929@hotmail.com John McConnell] sent me this image I thought it was from the farside swirl group inside Mare Ingenii. But looking at the Clementine [http://pdsmaps.wr.usgs.gov/explorer-bin/mapmars4.cgi?WHEREFROM=PZ&VERSION=INTERMEDIATE&DATA_SET_NAME=moon_clementine_bw&PIXEL_TYPE=BIT8&SCALE=pixels/degree&PROJECTION=SINUSOIDAL&RESOLUTION=64&RESAMP_METHOD=NEAREST_NEIGHBOR&BANDS_SELECTED=%223,2,1%22&FORMAT=JPEG&LONBOX=16&LATBOX=16&GRIDLINE_FREQUENCY=none=AUTO&LAT=-35.5&LON=164.5&LINE=1024&SAMP=965 image] of the area failed to reveal a match to the pattern. According to the coordinates the Apollo 10 spacecraft was over 5°N, 115°E near the crater Firsof, which is much closer to the swirl in Mare Marginis. Hmm. Who can identify this area exactly? Post the coordinates of the swirl and most critically, a link to a confirming image, in the comment section below. Thanks! Oh yes, assuming this is a swirl, it has a very convoluted texture and hints at depth - especially at the top where a swirl on the flank of an impact crater is rimmed with darkness. </p> | | <p>I know the Moon quite well, as do many of the visitors to LPOD.
