The links to the NASA anaglyphs are at the bottom of those images. This is a link to the smaller png anaglyph from NASA (if you have 3d glasses, you should take a look):
Now, here is a look at our main line - in a gif animation - wiggling back and forth between one image and the other:
We can see that the line is not on the ground - as it changes position between the two images.
It is interesting we are getting the same defect in each image of the pair, though. Maybe that helps us determine the true nature of the defect. Again, it would be nice if NASA commented on their image defects, so we could fully understand how it was made, and why the same streak occurred in nearly the same place in two separate images. Is this the line where the smaller chunks fit together - where a data loss occurred or where the graphics program failed to fit them together neatly?
It is my opinion that the straight lines we see in report #201 are photgraphic defects or assembly defects from when they assembled the smaller chunks of images into a single larger image with their graphics software.
I have studied this phenomenon before - having first seen it in a video put up by newandromeda on youtube, in this video called Highways and Cities on Mars.
They do look a lot like highways.
newandromeda found similar straight lines in a separate nasa image located here:
What I found in that image is exactly what I am finding in this image. The straight lines are following exactly parrallel to the edges of the original photograph. In the previous image we had more than one line running parallel through the image - and it would appear to start and stop through the landscape.
We see similar defects in other photographs from other missions- which all run parallel to either the vertical edges or the horizontal edges of the pictures. I think this gives it away that these are image defects - as they run with the image edges -rather than any other phenomenon. I just wish NASA would catalogue their image defects somewhere so that people would know what to expect. I guess they don't like bringing to light defective workmanship as that makes them look bad.
By the way, I did find some interesting forms near these photgraphic defects when I studied the newandromeda image - just as Skipper suggested we would find in this image, when he suggested the lines were only a distraction for something likely more interesting (though I haven't studied this one completely from report 201).
I only mentioned it because the image I downloaded from the MAResarch website (5th of 9 images) had certain areas which looked as if they were black.
I did one of the standard analyses I do to my photos I am investigating, and it turned out that these areas are indeed black RGB(0,0,0). The program that I run colours these areas red - meaning that this area does not have any detail inside it (ie the RGB values of the pixels are zero not just a low value that appears black). If they are a low value and not zero, then the next stage for my investigation is to increase the value to see what is in the 'shadow'.
So, I wonder if the process you performed on the image has introduced some values that were not there at the start. Or.. as I said, maybe my program has not done this analysis of the pixels correctly.
It is not a Big Deal or a problem, but we want the actual data (as far as we can with a .jpg image). Obviously we are not using the .jp2 version of the image either which may actually have some detail in there.
goggog, I am afraid that I have a problem with this image. (the one with the two side-by-side above)
The reason is that when I download Skippers image with the arrows in it, there are areas of pure black RGB=(0,0,0) and in yours, there are no such areas. However much you lighten and sharpen, a pure black area does not bring out any detail. Could you look again at your processing and see if this is the same on the image you downloaded? Of course, it is possible that my processing is doing something funny and I am totally wrong about this, but if we both check it, then we can find out what has gone wrong with our processing of the image. Q
pureblack areas in red
Well. But while there is no time. I will try later

goggog,.... Thank you for working on the images, I don't know how you have done it but that is some amazing detective work, the image has now taken on a new dimension with your evidence, it now appears that the dark patch could be a junction of a tube system (I think Papa shown us a similar structure in his early lunar posts), I am simply stunned by the detail you have shown us, the "151" could be some sort of edit mark and only shows up as pixels in the images I downloaded.
Full credit goes to you, but how did you manage to pull out so much detail? also can you pull up more detail from the other images in report 201.
Xenon, thanks for a recognition
"also can you pull up more detail from the other images in report 201."
I will try. But at first I want to understand with Sol 621 a theme

I have often commented on images tampering and the need to look deeper into the images we are shown, and on this occasion was drawn to Mr Skippers report #201, in image 5 he shows us "how the line seems to disappear under the isolated patch of dark material", even though my image software is limited I have still managed to enhance the dark patch (I have reduced the contrast, colour temp, tint, and inverted the image) which does indeed seem to show the line disappearing under the dark patch (as does some of the background).....
This raises several questions in my mind, the main being how many images have been overlaid onto the original data?
In this instance the line artefact could well be a distraction deflecting the viewer from what is hidden under the dark patch, if you look carefully above the point where the line disappears (left side) you can see a circular object, I won't speculate what the object is, or if it is part of the overlay, the point is that tampering has taken place for reasons we have yet to find out.
Our thanks go to Mr skipper and Mark for posting this evidence
