What the heck is this ... there are many images of it here Has anyone else got an image of this area or crater to see the glowing blue structure..Will try tonight but not sure I can get this close...Looks like an upside down Jello Mold......If it were Sulpher as some say then the color is wrong unless the moon atmosphere of Sodium alters the color to Violet..but that's controversial as well Greg

My main argument on this is merely the effect of postprocessing, in this case just oversaturating the luminosity of the crater (on the link you can find a pic that is corrected for the part of the saturation).
The luminosity increase on this particular crater is very easily achieved by postprocessing even it is not there originally (see an example on the mentioned thread) and then the only thing one has to do is to oversaturate the image...
There may be some other reasons there - but maybe not o u t there
Be well!
