Discovery of Lunar Caves Beneath the Moon's Surface

Researchers led by the University of Trento in Italy have confirmed the presence of caves beneath the Moon's surface, based on data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The discovery of underground conduits beneath the Sea of Tranquility provides crucial evidence for potential future lunar colonies. This finding sheds light on the hostile lunar environment, offering the possibility of shelter from radiation and meteorite impacts for astronauts during missions and long-term infrastructure construction.
