Lunar Pits

Post by Unitron48 »


An interesting read on these "mysterious" features: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/20 ... omfortable.

- The pits, and caves to which they may lead, would make thermally stable sites for lunar exploration compared to areas at the Moon’s surface
- Two of the most prominent pits have visible overhangs that clearly lead to caves or voids, and there is strong evidence that another’s overhang may also lead to a large cave
- “Humans evolved living in caves, and to caves we might return when we live on the Moon
