Comments: The 'Old Man Of The Moon' is no doubt a naturally occurring geological feature similar to the Martian Face and/ or to The Old man Of The Mountain on Earth. I discovered it about five minutes after discovering the LRO hi res images at the above given source. The "here" link is the anomaly all centered up, so you don't have to scope it in manually. It really freaked me out and I thought for sure that I really slipped my clutch plates this time. So I got a second opinion, the wife told me that I was an idiot, in that there are three faces visible in the image location! And sure 'nuff, she was right again..Then a really scary thought occurred to me that it might possibly be a very ancient Mount Rushmore formation. The Mount Rushmore figures are about 18m high, the Old Man Of The Moon, is well, somewhat larger...about 230 m high and only about 130m wide. Note the triangular shaped monolith that is casting a shadow bottom center right, it will become important latter.
