Darkest Regions of the Moon Explored Using Machine Learning Ahead of NASA’s Artemis Mission
A team of researchers have developed a method to help explore the darkest areas of the Moon that never receive sunlight. These are some of the coldest locations on the Earth's only natural satellite, and could contain ice which could be useful for future space missions. Researchers used a deep learning-driven post-processing tool and produced high-...
