摘要：
Thinking of a property on the Moon? The northern rim of Peary crater could be the place to be. An illumination map of the Moon's north pole, based on images obtained by the Clementine spacecraft, reveals areas around the Peary crater that are in permanent sunlight. These are prime locations for lunar outposts: as well as abundant solar energy, temperatures are relatively benign, and nearby regions in permanent shadow may, conveniently, contain water ice.
