Yeah I get that. If there are real structures on the moon, I would also expect them to be so heavily airbrushed that the public pictures would never show anything.

Do you know of anyone who is not government or military affiliated, ie an amateur or private type of person with a scope capable of taking images at the same level of detail on the moon?
I'd love to see some pics if u do.
We all know that the Earth rotates on its own axis, so theoretically, the Moon should also do the same, allowing us to get a full picture of the planetoid. Why are we limited to seeing only 50 percent? It turns out that the speed at which the Moon rotates has led to this particular phenomenon. Millions of years ago, the Moon spun at a much faster pace than it does now. However, the gravitational influence of the Earth has gradually acted upon the Moon to slow its rotation down, in the same way that the much smaller gravitational influence of the Moon acts upon the Earth to create tides. This influence slowed the rotational period of the Moon to match that of its orbit – about 29.5 days – and it is now "locked in" to this period.

Of course they are all natural "structures". The moon is the most explored and studied heavenly body. Every inch has been examined. There is nothing artificial on the moon. At least, not so visible that somebody looking at Google would find
