Physics

Scientific paper

The Moon's permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) near each pole present difficult targets for remote sensing. The Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) instrument on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission is able to map PSRs at far-ultraviolet (FUV) wavelengths using faint sources of illumination from the night sky; the all-sky Lyα glow produced as interplanetary H atoms scatter the Sun's bright Lyα emission line, and the much fainter source from UV-bright stars.
