An unprecedented view of the Moon’s Shackleton Crater
Two cameras, LROC and ShadowCam, teamed up to take detailed images of Shackleton Crater near the Moon’s south pole area. LROC takes clear photos of the bright parts of the Moon but struggles with the dark, shadowy areas. ShadowCam, which is super sensitive to light, captures the shadowy parts, so by using both cameras, scientists acquired a full, detailed picture of the Moon’s surface.
