https://www.nccs.nasa.gov/news-events/nccs-highlights/moon-south-pole
brief description

Explains how low-sun angles create kilometre-scale shadows; includes slope histograms and illumination profiles that help solvers visualise the 20 ° gradients MicroChariot must climb. See Figures 3-4 for slope-frequency plots.
