Researchers from Italy and other countries have announced the discovery of a massive underground cave on the Moon. This promising location is being considered as a potential future base for astronauts. A team of researchers, including those from the University of Trento in Italy, announced on the 15th that one of the over 200 vertical shafts identified on the lunar surface leads to a large subterranean cave.

The vertical shaft leading to the cave is located in the 'Sea of Tranquility,' where Apollo 11 made the first-ever human lunar landing in 1969. The cave is estimated to be between 30 and 80 meters long, about 45 meters wide, and 130 to 170 meters deep from the surface.
It is known that the temperature on the lunar surface can reach as high as 127 degrees Celsius during the day and plummet to -173 degrees Celsius at night. The research team pointed out that the cave could be a promising location for a base that would protect astronauts from the extreme temperature fluctuations and meteorite impacts.
