Shadows at the Moon's South Pole
This is a multi-temporal illumination map made with a wide-angle camera. To create it, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft collected 1,700 images over a period of 6 lunar days, which is 6 Earth months. It repeatedly covered an area centered on the Moon's south pole from different angles. The resulting images were stacked to produce the featured map, representing the percentage of time each spot on the surface was illuminated by the Sun.
