In 2014, Nvidia was able to use its GeForce GTX graphics processing units (GPU) to realistically render the way light would behave on the moon, creating a near identical image of Buzz Aldrin backlit by the light bouncing off Neil Armstrong's spacesuit.
Four years later on Oct. 11, Nvidia recreated its moon landing recreation with its new Turing GPU tech. Turing comes with real-time ray-tracing technology, which can capture the reflection of light as it happens. To demo this, Nvidia turned its moon landing recreation into a video. You can watch it below:
