Farside buildings

[Sgt.Rocknroll]

To me that's not a pump. Too big and the shape is not your standard pump configuration. It might be a containment building of some sort, I don't know. It DOES have a pyramid shape though and thats why I protrayed it that way, with a sphere of some sort on top. Maybe a satellite building?...

The underground pipeline was pure quess work on my part as there are two distinct facilities far apart but in the general area. It would stand to reason that they would be connected in some way shape or form. One third of the way from plant one(far one on the right) there is an out-cropping of some sort, maybe a bypass system that I chose to show as an underground sphere for speed purposes, but the more I look the more there is an object or objects on the surface. I need to re-evaluate that.

In my opinion, these objects are on the surface, casting shadows. These objects resemble a lot of piping systems I have seen in 35 years of drawing and designing piping systems.

Yes I think its a process system of some sort. Helium 3? I don't know..But something is going on.

Peace

Nice work again Sarge,

And yep I sure did notice the Pyramid

[Elvis Hendrix]

Sarge excellent.

[LSWONE]

Amazing work Sarge! Thanks for sharing with us.

[PLAYSWITHMACHINES]

Spot on, Sarge

The symbol definitely represents a pump (although the modern symbol places a triangle IN the circle showing the flow direction) But the actual pump will be more of a fat cylinder. Notice the absense of cooling towers which is natural since their is no air thus no convection thus no means to cool things, except by IR radiation emission, like if you paint a pipe matt black & pump hot water through it.

I'm not familiar with this area of the moon, whish i had the time to set up my telescope...

[Sgt.Rocknroll]

PwM that was a general symbol. There's process flows (PFD) & then there's Process & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID). Pfd's are more simplified.

@everyone: Thanks!

I think it's on the far side, so I guess a telescope would not be enough.

Lava flows? Seismic activity?
Not on the moon, it's dead as a dodo...

Always so sure are we? Who told you that? NASA



Moon Burps Reveal Volcanic Activity November 08, 2006

The Moon has been seen huffing and puffing, remnants of a once very active satellite, scientists reported today.

It's believed that the Moon hasn't experienced any volcanic activity for at least three billion years, but a new look at some old evidence suggests otherwise.

http://www.space.com/3090-moon-burps-reveal-volcanic-activity.html

So either it is THE LIVING MOON  still spewing lava  OR these 'burps' and 'puffs' are signs of MINING OPERATIONS in full gear

I would suggest we look at these new images showing the activity

When jack Arneson requested LRO to revisit the Tsiolkovsky Crater area we used 'geological reasons' as the excuse.  We had already posted the lobate area that looked like it was a recent mine dump and wanted to see closeups of disturbed rocks.

In this Case ArMap was very diligent finding all those moving rocks... so many that he stopped pointing them out.

I would say that was certainly proof of 'disturbed terrain'

Rare Volcanoes Discovered On Far Side of the Moon
July 25, 2011

Shielded from Earth-bound eyes, the far side of the moon is home to a rare set of dormant volcanoes that changed the face of the lunar surface, a new study finds.

Data and photos from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) reveal the presence of now-dead silicate volcanoes, not the more common basaltic volcanoes that litter the moon's surface, researchers said.

"Most of the volcanic activity on the moon was basaltic," primary author Brad Jolliff of Washington University told SPACE.com in an email. "Finding other volcanic types is interesting as it shows the geologic complexity and range of processes that operate on the moon, and how the moon's volcanism changed with time."

I guess I need to do a thread on this region and tie it into the Tsiolkovsky stuff Jack found


Need to find out if they are still taking requests at LRO... we were one of the first

[zorgon]

I will move these to a new thread shortly as I see so much availabkle material

Volcanoes On The Moon? Rare Silicate Volcanoes Found (PHOTOS)

If possible, volcanoes on the moon just became even more awesome.

According to NASA's Lunar Science Center, scientists have recently discovered what they believe to be dormant silicate volcanoes on the far side of the moon. While the surface of the moon is littered with more common basaltic volcanoes, the type that "ooze" magma, this new find suggests a different type of activity.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) discovered the now dead volcanoes, according to Space.com. Previous lunar exploration missions had hinted at this type of activity on the moon, but it wasn't until this find that the presence of silicate volcanoes could be confirmed.

The find tells scientists a lot more than was previously known about volcanic activity of the Earth's largest satellite.

"To find evidence of this unusual composition located where it is, and appearing to be relatively recent volcanic activity is a fundamentally new result and will make us think again about the Moon's thermal and volcanic evolution," Bradley Jolliff, PhD, research professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis said.

Apparently these volcanoes, located on the far, or "dark," side of the moon present some of the youngest volcanic activity predicted to have taken place on the moon, occurring about three to four billion years ago, according to NASA.

Wired reports that, despite the cool finding, NASA's plans to return to the moon were canceled in 2010, and thus "Sadly, we probably won't get a chance to take a hands-on look anytime soon."

Thanks very much Sarge , I knew you were able to do something with that
" refinery " !
You are just  "  formidable  "

Not really Andolin, there are people that think the Earth is hollow and we have exponentially many, many more Volcano's here on Earth, so, believe what you want, truth of the matter is, more than likely, it would be feasible for each to have their follower's of such things.

Keeping in mind that Silica is a very important substance for new age technology.

And after all, these are ancient volcano's we are talking about here on the Lunar surface.

  Volcanoes on the moon would raise havoc with the "Hollow Moon" theory...

Greetings to all.
It would also seem to be true that if there were volcanic activity on the moon there would be some measurable atmosphere and or emissions. It may be that the effects of volcanic activity on the surface would be short lived do to the extreme exposure to space. But should be detectable at some point.
Also volcanic upheaval would most likely have a large particle content and should stay in the gravitational pull of the moon, dispersing gradually and probably almost evenly around the source because of there being no weather. If this does take place there should be evidence in the form of radial patterns that may be visible in old or new photos.

Just a thought
