A thread lowered into the well: the crater is a well of four-billion-year-old dark, the laser is a single thread of light lowered from the rim, and the rover's round receiver dish is the period that catches it
An artistic imagining, not existing hardware: on the floor of a lunar crater where sunlight has never reached, a small rover works by borrowed light. A station on the sunlit rim lowers a single laser thread into a dark four billion years old, and the rover's round receiver catches it like a period at the end of one long bright sentence. Cut and torn paper: everything in the crater is torn-edged; only the light is scissor-cut.Image: poweringspace.com. Artistic imagining.
