An Italian-led team of scientists say they have confirmed evidence of a sizable cave on the moon not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago.
The cave is located at the Sea of Tranquility just 250 miles from Apollo 11’s landing site and researchers suspect there are hundreds more that could house future astronauts as several nations look to create a permanent base on the lunar surface for humans. Apollo 17 in 1972 was the final flight of the Apollo program. The pit, like the more than 200 others discovered up there, was created by the collapse of a lava tube, scientists say.
Researchers analyzed radar images of the Mare Tranquillitatis pit , an elliptical skylight with vertical or overhanging walls and a sloping pit floor that seems to extend further underground. The radar images were captured by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2010 and compared the results with lava tubes on Earth.
