On the Moon Not So Far Away... The Enigma Of Reiner Gamma .
The image above shows Reiner Crater just under the lettering, the white object to the left is called Reiner Gamma. On the long "tail" going up from Reiner Gamma is a black square that has been shown for many years as an anomaly on the 1994 Clementine images. This page will deal with looking at this enigma on many photos. This is a work in progress. Comments: |

The two images above are from Lick Observatory Photos taken in January 1946. Two things stand out immediately in all three images. The brightness of Reiner Gamma as if it were giving off light as opposed to merely reflecting light and the smooth edges of the crater giving a raised ring appearance. Comments: |

This clipping is from an image taken with a 10" telescope by Mike's Astro Imaging in the UK. The photo and our clips are copyrighted and all rights reserved. This image is used here by permission. On this image the Reiner Crater
is even smoother than the previous images and the shadow shows a smooth
edge as well. This image has simply been enlarged. Notice the quality of
the image compared to the Lick Photos above and the Clementine Satellite
image. Below is the same image with contrasts adjusted.
