![Microbial survivability in the polar regions of the Moon. Top panels show the UV fluence [total amount of radiant energy] over a 24-hour period in the polar regions of the Moon. Bottom panels show areas where each microbe may be able to survive based on corresponding limits related to the direct integrated UV fluence and maximum summer temperature (with PSRs [permanently shadowed regions] in black, as survivable for all microbes under this scenario). (A) North pole enlarged region showing survivability for multiple microbes in the vicinity of larger permanently shadowed regions. (B) North pole enlarged region displaying survivability patterns for multiple microbe species interspersed with areas of lower survivability. (C) South pole enlarged region near the De Gerlache region showing survivability of multiple microbes surrounding the permanently shadowed region. (D) South pole enlarged region showing survivability patterns for either multiple microbe species or only Aspergillus intersp](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HQMRlxnX0AEs_WS?format=webp&name=medium)
