Scientists discover cave on the moon. It could be key to future space missions

It is an important discovery because it will allow the installation of space bases there to protect astronauts from the dangers of the moon’s surface.

A recent investigation has revealed the existence of a cave on the surface of the moon. The satellite has a cavity roughly the size of a football field.which would enable Build a space base on it which protect astronauts from the extreme temperatures and radiation on the moon’s surface.

A shelter where you can protect yourself from surface hazards.

Science has assumed that the satellite contains caves, but research by the University of Trento has not yet proven this. According to his latest study. Which can be read in the scientific journal Nature.The largest known crater on the Moon contains almost a cave. Its length is 85 meters and its width is 45 meters..

We are discovering more and more about the moon.

This is an important discovery, because the size of the cavity makes this possible. Install a satellite base there.This would facilitate space missions, since then. The surface of the moon is very dangerous. Because of the extreme temperatures ranging from 127 degrees Celsius on its illuminated side to -173 degrees on the unilluminated side, but especially because of the cosmic and solar radiation, which is 150 times stronger than terrestrial radiation. These conditions are dangerous for the health of the astronauts, so the cave will serve as a shelter for them.

The well in which the cave is located is considered the largest known, with a radius of 100 metres. Located in Mar Tranquillitatis (Sea of ​​Tranquility)a large plain metaphorically compared to the sea. It was in it Where Apollo 11 landed on July 20, 1969.In fact, the well, and therefore the cave, is located only 400 kilometers from where the ship landed.

to check the existence of the cave Data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter were used.which traced the Sea of ​​Tranquility well in 2010. Researchers at the University of Trento later reanalyzed the data using new signal processing techniques, which suggested the presence of a cave. They suspected it had been formed by lava flowing inland, and this was proven when They compared their data with data from volcanic caves in Lanzarote..

There is still a lot to explore about the satellite, but this discovery gives hope for future space missions. On the other hand, some research is also focusing on what is inside it. We also remember that There are moons on other planets.Like Jupiter that could harbor life.
