[Excerpted from Scientific American Web-site: 8 Wonders Of The Solar System] This a series of artist's conceptions by renowned scientific artist Ron Miller, of some beautiful sights in the solar system which we've not actually seen -- yet.

"Not far from home, on our own moon, a unique condition exists.  Discovered in 1994 on Peary crater near the north pole, the so-called peaks of eternal light are the only known region in the solar system where the sun never sets. (Other such regions may exist on Mercury but have not been seen yet.)

"This unusual condition arises because the moon's rotational axis is barely tilted relative to the plane of its and Earth's orbit around the sun.

"Certain to become a tourist attraction, this site may one day also house the first moonbase.  Temperatures in the area fluctuate comparatively little, perhaps by 20 degrees, making it an ideal place to settle. The possibility of water ice here is an added bonus."
