Italian scientists have discovered a deep cave on the surface of the moon. The place could become a new home for astronauts on future space missions. According to the researchers, the cave on the moon’s surface provides protection against the external climate and radiation.

Because it is so deep, the site could provide protection against radiation and extreme weather events in space, using advanced radar technology.
The research was published in the famous journal. Natural astronomy, This indicates that the site would be ideal for establishing a space base. The reason for choosing it is due to the favorable conditions for humans on the site.
The cave entrance can be seen from the ground – Photo: Internet/Reproduction/NDThe cave is about 100 meters deep, and is probably just one of hundreds of caves on the moon. This particular cave is located in the area known as “Mare Tranquillitatis,” or “Sea of Tranquility” – a rocky plain on the moon’s surface.
A cave on the moon could be a new shelter for astronauts
Scientists believe these cavities were formed millions of years ago when lava flowed across the moon’s surface and hardened, creating rock tunnels. The cave entrance can even be seen from Earth.
Discovering this cave could revolutionize space exploration. In addition to providing a safe haven for astronauts, it could be explored to better understand the moon’s geology and formation history.
According to experts, the cave’s natural protection against the hostile space environment could facilitate the establishment of a lunar base. This would be an important step for future space exploration and colonization missions.
