Moon cave discovered as potential lunar habitat by scientists

The International Astronomical Union announced last week that they had discovered a cave on the Moon that may be able to hold up to 100 m of water and may serve as humanity’s permanent home on the moon.

In their report, researchers described the cave as one of perhaps hundreds buried in a country that is ‘underground, unexplored’. A number of Earth’s nations are now competing against one another in order to build structures on the Moon that need to be shielded from radiation, cold temperatures, and space weather during their construction.

The first British astronaut in space, Helen Sharman, explained that caves are good places to build bases and that humans may one day be able to live in pits on the Moon within the next 20-30 years, caused by the caves being a good choice for bases.

The astronauts may, however, have to rappel or use jet packs or a lift to get out of the well due to its depth due to the aforementioned reasons. Lorenzo Bruzzone and Leonardo Carrer discovered the cave using radar on Mars’ Mare Tranquillitatis, visible from Earth and the Apollo 11 landing point.

There are various operations that have been carried out on the surface of the Moon, including a skylight, vertical and overhanging walls, and a floor which may be inclined and may also extend under a greater distance.

Millions of billions of years ago, it was formed from the flow of lava that took place millions of years ago. As a result of the researchers’ travels to Lanzarote, Spain, they studied one of the most similar environments on Earth, which is the volcanic caves located in Lanzarote, a volcanic island south of Spain.

Professor Carrer said he was very excited to be a part of the project. That day when you made these discoveries, and when you saw these images, you realized that you were the first man in the history of mankind to do something like that. They were able to determine, as a result of the extent and size of the cave, what the future application of the cave could be as a lunar base.

Scientists are still planning on using ground-penetrating radar, cameras, or robots as a means of investigating the inner contour of the cave, but in order to do so, ground-penetrating radar, cameras, or robots might be helpful in investigating it further.
