Whoa! Thank you for bringing that photo to my attention, Neil. The original high resolution source from the wikipedia article about it says its only a "reproduction." :http://genomebiology.com/2011/12/4/112
Even so, it begs more questions than it answers. I might not post again for awhile until I gain perspective from as many angles as I can on this issue. This is Pandora's box indeed!
I wonder why more aren't offering explanations as to the moon's curious shape, which seemingly defies the laws of physics that keep it in orbit around the earth. Am I now to believe I should be observing a prolate spheroid moon from my perspective here on earth because of this supposed "tidal lock" phenomenon?
