#lunarcaves not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago, suspected hundreds more that could house future astronauts…

…an Italian-led team reported Monday that there's evidence for a sizable cave accessible from the deepest known pit on the moon…located at the Sea of Tranquility, just 250m (400k) from Apollo 11's landing site.

the pit, like more than 200 others discovered…created by the collapse of a #lavatube…

Scientists confirm first lunar cave that could help shelter astronauts from the moon’s extreme temperatures

Scientists have long theorized the existence of lunar caves — underground passageways formed through volcanic processes that are connected to the pits covering the moon’s surface. Now, a team of international researchers has found the first direct evidence that the moon’s deepest known pit connects to a cave that could provide shelter to astronauts.
