"Scientists Discover Potential Astronaut Shelter in Moon Cave"
Italian researchers have discovered a large underground cave on the moon, potentially suitable for human habitation, and suspect there could be hundreds more. These caves, formed from collapsed lava tubes, could offer protection from extreme temperatures and radiation, making them ideal for future lunar bases. The discovery, supported by radar images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, suggests that these caves could also harbor water, crucial for sustaining long-term human presence on the moon and future missions to Mars.
