This tool would use the topography data to render shadows in real-time based on the sun's angle at a specific date and time.

: Users could simulate visibility for specific regions, such as the South Pole-Aitken basin , to identify permanently shadowed regions or areas with maximum solar exposure. lunar_topography.7z

This feature would allow users to visualize the Moon's surface under varying lighting conditions, which is critical for both scientific analysis and hobbyist planning. Proposed Feature: Dynamic Sun-Shadow Simulator This tool would use the topography data to

: Modern processing software like AstroSurface or Sharpen AI could use this "shadow map" as a reference to more accurately deconvolve and sharpen edges in real lunar photos. such as the South Pole-Aitken basin

Given that lunar_topography.7z likely contains high-resolution elevation data—similar to the datasets provided by NASA SVS —a highly helpful feature would be a .
