The Peak of Eternal Light
The first public showing of #39;The Peak of Eternal Light #39;, a new movie created using images taken by ESA #39;s SMART-1 lunar orbiter, took place on July 2009 at the Ars Electronica Center (AEC), Linz, Austria. This movie was shown as part of a special event to mark the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, during this International Year of Astronomy. During the journey to #39;The Peak of Eternal Light #39;, the audience joins Commander Bjrn Grieger and his flight crew onboard a virtual lunar shuttle called #39;Sparrow #39; for a thrilling flight over the lunar surface. This virtual guided tour across a 3D lunar surface explores Shackleton Crater en-route to the famous Peak of Eternal Light, a location 17 km from the Moon #39;s South Pole that is illuminated almost constantly by the Sun, making it a possible site for a future lunar outpost. A method known as shape-from-shading was used to produce the 3D lunar surface featured in the movie. The method was used in a novel way, applying it simultaneously to five images taken in diverse lighting conditions by the Advanced Moon Imaging Experiment (AMIE) on board ESA #39;s SMART-1 spacecraft. This model was originally developed for research purposes before being converted into a movie for AEC, Austria.From:ESAViews:6 0ratingsTime:09:01More inScience Technology
