A part of the Moon never faces the Sun. It is referred to as the permanently shadowed region on the Moon or dark side. This region is believed to hold frozen water. However, conducting observations on the sunlight-devoid lunar region is not without challenges. To learn more about this region, a start-up called Maxar Technologies, along with NASA, is working on a solar-powered system.
