NASA Interns Help to Solve the Terminator Problem Via GLOBE Challenge
What is the terminator problem? The solar terminator (or “twilight zone”) is the line that separates the daylit side of a planet from the dark night side. From Earth’s surface we can often see lovely sunrises and sunsets at the terminator. However, these same conditions pose some difficulties for cloud-observing satellites.
