New Moon photos , do they really show the Apollo landing gear ?

I wonder, what are hills and what are craters near the Apollo gear ?

Here is a negative of the above photo and you can clearly see, that also
in the negative the shadow is also wrong from the Apollo gear:

Sorry Stephan,
I agree with MileHigh.

They all should go to the left side and not to the right side, cause the sun is shining from
the right side onto the pictures, so the shadows of all the surrounding hills also go to the left side...

It looks to me that the sun is shining from left to right. Instead of those things being hills it look like they are craters.
Pictures look good to me. Now whether there where real men down there not just robots, I don't know.

so why the low quality pictures? what's the explanation for that?

From the first page Harti linked to - "...Though it had been expected that LRO would be able to resolve the remnants of the Apollo mission, these first images came before the spacecraft reached its final mapping orbit. Future LROC images from these sites will have two to three times greater resolution..."

The pics look real to me.

The picture looks correct to me. See the attached picture of the crater in Arizona where the crater pit is much deeper than the lift area on the crater rim and the biggest shadow is in the pit.

Even more interesting items are revealed when you blow up the picture. Note the trail in the upper left from the craft to another small shiny object to the far top left. The trail goes around the small craters.
