Col An Moon Cave Discovered

Scientists have confirmed the discovery of a cave in the moon, not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin sat down 55 years ago. Scientists believe that there are hundreds of other caves on the moon that can accommodate astronauts in the future.

A team led by Italian scientists announced on Monday that there is evidence of a cave of huge size, whose entrance is known as the deepest hole in the moon and extends to the “Silence Det” “sea of Tranquility”, about 400 kilometers from the site where the mission Apollo 115% landed.

The drought, with some 200 similar ones discovered there, is created by the collapse of the lava pipelines, according to scientists.

Researchers analyzed radar measurements from probe “Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter”, who observed the moon and compared the results to the veneers on earth. Their study is published in “Nature Astronomy”.

radar data shows only the initial part of the lunar vault, according to scientists. They estimate that the cave is at least 40 feet [40 m] wide and that it is several hundred feet long, perhaps more.

“The lunar caves have been a mystery for over 50 years. So it was exciting to know the existence of a” cave.They said through an enamel Leonardo Carrer and Lorenzo Bruzone from the University of Trent.

Most pits appear to be found in the ancient fields of the moon's lava, according to scientists. Astronauts from NASA plan to land at the end of this decade at the southern moon pole, where similar pits can be found. It is believed that there are ice in lunar craters that are never enlightened by the sun, which can be used for drinking water and rocket fuels.

During NASA's Apollo programme, 12 astronauts landed on the moon, starting with Armstrong and Aldrin on July 20, 1969.

The findings suggest there may be hundreds of holes in the moon and thousands ofIla pipelines. They can serve as a natural refuge for astronauts to protect them from cosmic rays and solar radiation, as well as from micrometeoric shocks, small pieces the size of sand.

Building new settlements would require more time and pose a challenge, even when the possible need to reinforce cave walls to prevent collapse is considered, the team said.

Rocks and other materials within these caves, unchanged by the difficult conditions of lunar surface throughout eternity, can also help scientists to understand evolution there, mainly when it comes to volcanic activity. / VOA
