Moonatlas / Curated catalogue 2026.09 · science-0.3.1

Discoveries

Notable lunar observations selected from 80,740 catalogued NASA-IBM model outputs. Each entry is a model prediction over a real lunar observation, promoted by a transparent product rule and given a permanent MOONATLAS id — a selection for exploration, never a scientific ranking or a confirmed feature.

Open any entry on the Moon to see it in its geographic context, or click anywhere on the globe to explore a coordinate of your own. How the science works.

Held-out test and in-sample

Every entry is a genuine lunar observation and a genuine model output. The badge describes evaluation provenance only: held-out test samples were not used to train or tune the downstream task, so they are the ones evaluation uses; training and validation samples are in-sample, published for coverage and exploration and never quoted as independent evidence of model performance.

Selection rules

Craters enter as large candidates, high-confidence candidates or candidates unmatched with the Robbins (2019) reference. Unmatched means no reference crater matched under the configured IoU ≥ 0.5 criterion. It does not imply a newly discovered or previously unknown crater.

What the values mean

Ice prospectivity is an unconstrained regression against a 0–1 expert target, not a probability of ice. IMP mean softmax is uncalibrated, and an IMP candidate is not an active volcano. Crater counts are model detections: overlapping tiles detect the same crater more than once.
