A huge magnetic field anomaly in the form of concentric circles around a buried monolith?

No, if they found that, they would keep it secret. Come with some cover story for it. Like an infectious disease or something.

Hey, wait! An infectious disease.....

IR astronomy? Huh. Might be something to do with elemental abundance on the surface... but then again it could be something else entirely.

Life. Again.

It's not aliens.

Probably water. Either "There's more ice in the poles than we thought!" or "There's ice in the caves!"

[RealKerbal3x]

They clearly discovered a Mun Moon Arch.

I would think water.  Either liquid under the surface or way more ice.

Fishes??? Lunar fishes!

There are seas on the Moon, so just should be fishes!

And dolphins.

That was my thought when I saw the headline. I didn't think of lava tubes, but it'd be cool if they found water there.

[JoeSchmuckatelli]

Clearly they found the Dasani bottling plant.  I knew that stuff tasted funny for a reason 

[radonek]

My bet is also on water. Maybe hunk of ice in some interresting and/or unexpected place.

I think they finally discovered where all the missing socks go, when you know you bought them in pairs but somehow you now have an odd number.

But, but - what do they eat? Cheese isn’t very soluble in water.

And...

“We’re whalers on the Moon. We carry our harpoons. But there ain’t no whales, so we tell tall tales, and sing our whaling tunes.”

Finally, it’s a good thing we’re only talking fish and dolphins. If we were talking sharks we’d definitely need a bigger boat rocket.

The moon really IS made of green cheese!

What about bleu cheese?

Only once in a bleu moon.

Or maybe the Apollo astronauts tracked mold in on their boots and now the moon is slowly turning bleu.

[kerbiloid]

So, Apollo...

They've found several strange grotesque tripod landers and several tiny rovers on the Moon.

And now they are trembling because they can't understand: who has put them on the Moon?

 

Because, unlike the lunar conspirologists they weren't guessing, they really knew that lunar flights were filmed by Kubrick...

[Vanamonde]

The moon is faked on a sound stage. 

[kerbiloid]

Spoiler

Since Monday, it's official.

[Ocewatt]

They found Spock on the moon

A sound stage on Mars

[HebaruSan]

Just because it hasn't been guessed yet, I'm going to go with interstellar micrometeorites[/oids?].

[kerbiloid]

The article tells mostly about the stratospheric infra-red observatory SOFIA.
So, probably they have seen something infrared.

Spoiler

A good part. They still hope that the Monday will happen.
