Scientists have discovered a cave on the Moon where astronauts could stay for a long time. They studied radar measurements from NASA’s lunar probe.
The cave is about 400 kilometers from where Apollo 11 landed. Scientists think it formed when a lava tube collapsed. This cave could protect astronauts from the Moon’s tough environment.
“It’s a good place for future missions,” said Dr. Emily Johnson, the lead scientist. “It has a stable temperature and could shield astronauts from radiation.”
NASA is excited about the discovery and plans to explore the cave more. They hope it will help future missions to the Moon.
This cave shows how exploring space can give new opportunities for humans.
