Shackleton-de Gerlache ridge, one lunar day

shackrdge02_lunar_day · v0.1.0 · 89.5018°S 135.2011°W · created 2026-10-11 01:00 UTC

The 1 km LOLA fixture tile on the Shackleton-de Gerlache ridge rendered at twelve Sun positions spread evenly over one synodic month (29.53 days), from a nadir map camera and two rover-height navigation cameras. Sun geometry from SPICE; horizons from an 80 km context DEM.

Honest limits

  • The terrain is LOLA altimetry gridded at 5 m; real features smaller than that are not in the data, and the fine surface texture is synthetic.
  • Sun positions are computed with SPICE for the listed times; they are predictions, not observations.
  • Labels come from the DEM geometry and the Robbins (2018) crater catalog, not from human annotation.
  • Previews here are 8-bit display stretches. Not data; the full package holds 16-bit PNG, EXR and GeoTIFF labels.
