This looked like an interesting pattern of boulders, so I marked it as "Other".

Welcome to the Moon MMatessa!  Those boulders look like they might be the edge of a now mostly submerged crater.  You will see thousands of these but any boulders just blow us away.  Who knew that the Moon had such things?

Here's a really interesting one!

An interesting image Thornius!

If you look at the bottom right, there is a half-circle of craters boulders - very strange.

Welcome to the Moon, mmatessa.

What on moon are those white projections in the top right corner, giving very long shadows?
I would have said they are boulders but the one to the middle of the image appears to be rising from the depths of a crater...."or floating above it!!!"

Interesting picture Weezerd - I hope one of the Moon Zoo team members can answer it!

[Geoff]

Boulders galore!

Are we showing these images of boulders when we find them all, or is something special required? (I thought I'd seen a thread about this while I was first going through the forum catching up, but I can't find it now if I did?)

Hi Weezerd

I post boulder fields in the Boulders and Boulder Fields thread.
