Here is the LUNOKHOD 1 rover from the same recent LROC image
(Note: Image of lander 2 posts ago.... Hungy4info... my guess as to why we see the east ramps (so bright) is the sun angle and the reflected light from them. The westward ramps are in shadow and are 'averaged out' by the camera. You can see 2 dark appendage shadows on the west part of the lander. These are the darkened ramps, they don't return enough photons to the camera to be imaged properly. The bright ramps are screaming photons upwards, and over-imaged (they are not that big), the camera sees them as blurry ... just a guess) -------------------- CLA CLL
