NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is the world's largest and most powerful space telescope.
The cave is accessible from the deepest known pit on the moon, about 250 miles from where the Apollo 11 astronauts landed.CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Scientists have confirmed a cave on the moon, not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago, and suspect there are hundreds more that could house future astronauts.
The pit, like the more than 200 others discovered up there, was created by the collapse of a lava tube. The radar data reveals only the initial part of the underground cavity, according to the scientists. They estimate it’s at least 130 feet wide and tens of yards long, probably more. Most of the pits seem to be located in the moon’s ancient lava plains, according to the scientists. There also could be some at the moon’s south pole, the planned location of NASA’s astronaut landings later this decade. Permanently shadowed craters there are believed to hold frozen water that could provide drinking water and rocket fuel.
