Physics

Scientific paper

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Wide Angle Camera (WAC) and Narrow Angle Cameras (NAC) provide synoptic and high-resolution imaging of the polar regions, respectively. Image sequences collected over time provide the means to create movie sequences, illumination maps, verify illumination models, and identify small nearly continuously illuminated peaks to aid future polar exploration. With the LROC dataset, we have identified regions that are illuminated for over 90% of the year and small illuminated peaks that are 10's of meters wide in regions predicted to be in shadow.
