It’s so obvious when you pointed them out, but I sure didn’t see them prior to that.

Thanks.

If that is an ancient ship, the spoons were diving boards for the pool.

Real curious to know what caused them to erode like that? Water? Wind? Radio Waves?

I guess with almost no atmosphere and no precipitation you can get some weird stuff eroded out over the millennia.

Layers like that usually form in water, though sometimes wind can deposit soil that way too.

The stuff on the right like like collapsed buildings .. Or sumthin’. The spoons remind me of long necked overhead lights.

Maybe this was a sports complex. Or where past cosmic dwellers stayed.. Imagine the bonus points ya got then in rewards.
