I wonder if that is a multi image photo,because if not it looks like a 3d model. Look at the geometry around the edge. You can see the points.

Still good imagery.

Oh, c'Mons; you two are both acting bipolar, and this discussion is going to Hellas in a handbasket. Do either of you even have a Planum?
