NASA | The Moon's Permanently Shadowed Regions

The video discusses how different features of the moon are illuminated by the sun, with some areas remaining in permanent shadow due to the moon's axis. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) provides detailed maps of these craters using its instruments. The video highlights the use of LRO's Lola, Laura's lamp, and diviner instruments to study the moon's surface, temperature, and elements like hydrogen. The ongoing research aims to enhance our understanding of the moon and uncover new discoveries.
