Peaks of Eternal Light

[Panel]

I've been looking to start a mining base on the mun. To power all that equipment, I'll need a lot of power. I've decided against using a ton of RTGs, but I want to keep it powered through the night. Are there Peaks of Eternal Light on the mun? If so, where?

I'm pretty sure you can get constant or near constant light at the poles, I've had bases land there that seemed to always have sun access even if they looked like they were in darkness. The downside is, of course, that they're at the poles.

But it may be a simpler problem than you think. It won't empty out the power stores at night if you simply go do something else (as in go pilot another ship, go to VAB, etc, but get out of physics range of the mining base). Alternately if you need night power while you're playing the ship, bring fuel cell arrays. In fact you can drop the solar panels and do just fuel cells and it will be fine, just bring maybe one panel or an RTG as a safety measure (to prevent lockup if you drain batteries and empty tanks).
