Sun Lab
Move the Sun and watch one lunar scene change. On the right is the “map” image of the same place, made with the Sun at azimuth 135°, elevation 30°. For every Sun position, the lab shows how the Galatea model ranks the true place among all 150 map images of this terrain. Rank 1 means it recognises the place.
Yellow: your Sun. Dashed: the map’s Sun. Further from the centre means lower in the sky.

Recognition rank for every Sun position
Each cell is one Sun position for this place, labelled with the rank Galatea gives the true place (out of 150). The dashed cell is the Sun of the map image. Click a cell to see it.
