- An Italian research team has announced the existence of a massive underground cave on the Moon, which is a promising location for future astronaut bases.
- One of the vertical shafts located on the lunar surface leads to a cave ranging from 30m to 80m in length and is estimated to be 130m to 170m deep.
- It is expected to serve as a safe base for astronauts as it can protect them from extreme temperature fluctuations and meteorites on the lunar surface.
A research team from Italy and other countries announced that a giant underground cave exists on the moon. It is said to be a promising place for future astronauts to work. A research team from Trent University in Italy announced on the 15th that one of the more than 200 vertical shafts identified on the lunar surface leads to a giant underground cave.

The vertical shaft leading to the cave is located in the "Sea of Tranquility", where Apollo 11 landed on the moon for the first time in 1969. The cave is estimated to be 30m to 80m long, about 45m wide, and 130m to 170m deep from the surface.
It is known that the temperature on the lunar surface rises to 127 degrees Celsius during the day and drops to -173 degrees Celsius at night. The research team pointed out that it is a promising base location that can protect astronauts from extreme temperature differences and meteorites.
