    I think he was talking about this:



    More a monolump than a monolith.

    I'm Gobsmacked by this!

    So long as this isn't some kind of weird optical effect then that is truly stunning.

    Its just so out of kilter with the surrounding landscape that it does strike one as being most odd...

    We should send Arnie to investigate this Vista with all Hasta...

    remember Buzz, it's the Earth's moon you walked on, not a moon of Mars.
