The "Peaks" of Eternal Sun-light (2)
Astronomers say they have identified a place on the Moon that lies in permanent Sunlight and close to regions suspected to hold water ice: in short, an ideal location for a tentative Lunar Colony.
The spot is located on a highland close to the Lunar North Pole, between 3 large impact craters called Peary, Hermite and Rozhdestvensky (report in Thursday's issue of Nature, the British weekly Science Journal).
The temperature there is estimated to range between -40 and 
-60°C, which by Lunar Standards is relatively balmy and stable.
By comparison, the temperature on the Moon's equator ranges from -180°C to +100°C!
Since the area is bathed in perpetual Sun-light, a future human outpost on the Moon could draw on abundant solar energy and, 
in addition, the Lunar Pioneers could tap into supplies of water if (as some Scientists speculate) ice lurks in permanently shadowed craters at the Lunar Poles. The study is lead-authored by Ben Bussey of Johns Hopkins University, Maryland.
In January 2004, President George W. Bush sketched plans for a US return to the Moon as early as 2015, saying a lunar base would be a launch pad for manned missions to Mars and "across our Solar System".

Una domanda.... cos'è quella luminescenza nel cielo sopra il cratere? Ingrandendo l'immagine si vede una sorta di luce a forma di arco rovesciato, difetto della fotografia???

Potrebbe trattarsi di un piccolo effetto prismatico, così come di un difetto della lente usata per effettuare la ripresa. A mio parere, tuttavia, si potrebbe/dovrebbe trattare di un vizio derivato dalla cattiva manipolazione della pellicola in sede di sviluppo (un fenomeno tipico della fotografia spaziale delle prime generazioni: pensa ai "pelucchi", ai "granuli di polvere", ai "graffietti" etc. che hanno ingannato - e talvolta ancora ingannano - migliaia di Appassionati). Un saluto!
