안녕하세요, 프리덤 알제이입니다. 

오늘은 NASA에서 어떤 우주의 모습을 보여주는지 궁금합니다.

이 사진의 제목은 Shackleton from ShadowCam 입니다. 

NASA에서의 공식적으로 제공한 설명을 보시죠.

 

<Shackleton crater lies at the lunar south pole. Peaks along the 21 kilometer diameter are in sunlight, but Shackleton's floor is in dark permanent shadow. Still, this image of the shadowed rim wall and floor of Shackleton crater was captured from NASA's ShadowCam, an instrument on board the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) launched in August 2022. About 200 times more sensitive than, for example, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's Narrow Angle Camera, ShadowCam was designed image the permanently shadowed regions of the lunar surface. Avoiding direct sunlight, those regions are expected to be reservoirs of water-ice and other volatiles deposited by ancient cometary impacts and useful to future Moon missions. Of course, the permanently shadowed regions are still illuminated by reflections of sunlight from nearby lunar terrain. In this stunningly detailed ShadowCam image, an arrow marks the track made by a single boulder rolling down Shackleton crater's wall. The image scale is indicated at the bottom of the frame.;

 

오늘도 흥미로운 우주, 광할한 우주영상을 보며, 그 우주에 살고있는 저희가 위대해 보입니다.

오늘도 즐거운 하루 되시고, 우주 영상/사진은 꾸준히 업로드 되니 꼭 또 구경오세요.
