"Optimal Moon Base Found: Abundant Sunlight, Water, and Power Await"
Researchers have identified a spot on the south pole of the moon, specifically the Henson crater, as an ideal location for a human base due to its access to plenty of water and permanent sunlight. The spot's availability of sunlight is crucial for using solar panels as a power source. The researchers considered factors such as water ice distribution, slope angles, and communication links with Earth. While more ground truth measurements are needed, the Henson crater is currently deemed the best spot for the first lunar base, with potential for expansion to other areas in the future.
