I find it amazing that there are arrows pointing to the alien and its shadow. Funny part is that the shadow is pointing to where the Sun is.

Look at the shadows in the craters to figure out where the Sun is in the photo.

OK, next time someone shows you aliens on Google Moon --

1. Google Moon uses Clementine dataset.

2. Clementine resolution is at most 100m/pixel. So your supposed alien structures would be huge.

3. Note coordinates and go to Kaguya or LRO image archive. You can get much better resolution photos (down to 1m/px I think).

yes, but the aliens might not have been standing there on the day THOSE other photos were taken

I pointed that out to someone on Facebook, I got called a "sheeple."

I want to believe, but then I get shown that there's a section of the population that shouldn't procreate.

Another question I have: How big is that alien supposed to be?

I'm assuming this is image comes from LRO and it can just barely make out the Apollo landers. This figure is several times larger than the lander, which is already over 4 m wide. So we're looking at the "shadow" being about 50 m long.

No, this is Clementine ... 100-350m per pixel ... LRO is 1m per pixel...
