Where on the Moon?

A rover has lost track of where it is. You see its camera view. Find the matching place among six map images before the timer runs out.

1. Look

Study the rover’s view: the horizon, craters and rocks. Shadows are the trap: the map was usually made with the Sun somewhere else.

2. Pick

Click the map image you think shows the same place, or press 1–6. You have 30 seconds.

3. Compare

See the answer, and what the rover’s AI and an Earth-trained AI picked. A correct answer that the rover AI got wrong earns a “beat the rover” badge.
