Space exploration: New study finds moon houses caves that could act as shelter for astronauts
SUMMARY: Scientists have confirmed a sizable cave on the moon near Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s Apollo 11 landing site, potentially housing future astronauts. An Italian-led team reported the cave’s evidence from the deepest known pit at the Sea of Tranquility, about 250 miles from Apollo 11’s location. The pit, created by a collapsed lava tube, is one of over 200 such features on the moon. Researchers used radar measurements from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, comparing them with Earth’s lava tubes. Their findings were published in a scientific journal. The research was conducted by Associated Press and reported on July 15, 2024.
