The Google feature is about 10 degrees farther up North and about 40 degrees eastward, so it's not terribly far from Copernicus. Actually I should be able to calculate the distance between these two locations using basic spherical trigonometry, the formula is cos x = cos 41.1 * cos 9.7 * cos 19.6 + sin 9.7 * sin 19.6 = 40.9 degrees distance between these features, which would be roughly 1240 kilometers on the moon (pi * 3474 km * 40.9 / 360).

The features seem to be further apart than I originally thought.

I wouldn't have thought they mean the hundreds of fake crop circles that appear every summer in the newspapers during the silly season, such as those made by these people. That would be silly.



Still awaiting the interview with the chief scientist though. (If it happens of course.) close(-)

I guess the Bulgarian scientists will deny it soon, if the news agency invented the story. I believe efforts are underway to interview the Chief Scientist of the Bulgarian Academy (as I saw on another board.) If they have been misquoted by the news agency, they'll look a bit silly until they clarify ...  close(-)
