ISRO Lunar Surveyor . . . APOLLO 11 Landing Site.

[Ez2cDave]

This is the image of the APOLLO landing sites, taken by the ISRO Lunar Surveyor "Chandryaan 2" . . .

Since this was, obviously, taken after the Apollo missions returned to Earth, only the Base of the LEM was left behind.

Take a look at the "shadows" and share you thoughts on what you see.

To me, the shadow of the LEM base "looks wrong" ( too tall ), as if the Upper Portion of the LEM was still in place.

I'm no expert in interpretation of photos, but the long shadows caused by the angle of the sun would seem to account for difference between the actual height of the LEM base and the length of the shadow. Look at the proportions of shadow/light in the small craters. That's consistent with the 3-4x magnification of the shadow.

I am curious as to what vertical surfaces on a LEM base, by itself, would create those shadows at the right side of the image ?

Looks right to me. Those vertical pieces that are above the base are casting those shadows.

You can see the tracks from Apollo 14's hand cart, the predecessor to the rover.
