According to them, the depth of at least 100 meters makes it a perfect location for humanity to establish a permanent base.
The experts claim that it is just one of many likely hundreds of caverns concealed in a “underground, undiscovered world.”
Nations are vying with one another to put humans on the moon permanently, but doing so will require safeguarding people from space weather, radiation, and extremely high temperatures.
The first British astronaut to reach space, Helen Sharman, told News that humanity might be residing in lunar holes in 20 to 30 years and that the recently found cave seemed like a suitable location for a base.
However, she added, this cave is so deep that astronauts may have to utilize “jet packs or a lift” to escape after abseiling in.
Leonardo Carrer and Lorenzo Bruzzone of the University of Trento in Italy made the discovery of the cave. They did this by utilizing radar to enter the opening of a pit on the Mare Tranquillitatis, a stony plain.
It is both where Apollo 11 landed in 1969 and is visible with the unaided eye from Earth.
The cave features a sloping floor that may go deeper below the surface of the Moon, as well as a skylight that leads down to vertical, overhanging walls.
