The Towers on the Dark Side of the Moon
The shard and the tower on the dark side of the moon what are they?These images are from Lunar Orbiter frame LO-III-84-M. Taken with the medium
resolution camera at a distance of at least 250 miles, it shows an object dubbed by Hoagland the "Shard".
The star-like object above the "Shard" is a camera registration mark. The "Shard" has a shadow cast in the
correct direction for it to be a real object on the Moon and is aligned with the local vertical rather
than the grain of the film, decreasing the chance it is an emulsion abnormality. Close-ups reveal a
cellular-like internal structure. Above and behind the "Shard" is the "Tower", a massive 7 mile high
structure with a central "cube" suspended by a tripod like base. Enhancements of the "Tower" show a
similar cellular construction to the "Shard", but with a distinctly hexagonal pattern.
