Thanks to a reader (see the comments on the original post on this subject), my attention has been drawn to this new post, which apparently provides access to the original Google Mars source image for the anomaly. It appears that the cosmic ray explanation now has solid support.

Is that anything like a “Tycho Magnetic Anomaly?”
These guys are serious dweebs.

I saw this several days ago, and, (tho I’m not even an armchair Astronaut!), it certainly appears to be a huge building of some sort…which is questionable at best…who, how, when & why???? Thanks! Possibly things are beginning to come to a head…
it appears to have an explanation; though some comparative images would be nice.
