The full moon won’t peak until 6:17 a.m. ET Sunday, but the silvery orb will still appear at its best Saturday, the 55th anniversary of NASA astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin conducting ...
This new discovery has found the “hidden” structures at depths of about 300m (984ft). The new data suggests the first 130ft under the lunar surface is made up of layers of dust, soil, and rocks.
The pit, like the more than 200 others discovered up there, was created by the collapse of a lava tube. ... Scientists have confirmed a cave on the moon, not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz ...
Although M 3 results are consistent with recent findings of other NASA instruments onboard Chandrayaan-1, the discovered water molecules in the Moon's polar regions is not consistent with the presence of thick deposits of nearly pure water ice within a few meters of the lunar surface, but it does not rule out the presence of small (<~10 cm (3.9 ...

The Mare Tranquillitatis pit is the name given to an elliptical opening on the Moon's surface in the Mare Tranquillitatis, situated roughly 400 kilometers (250 miles) away from the landing site of Apollo 11. [1] The pit was created by a lunar lava tube, and is currently the deepest known lunar pit with a radius of at least 100 meters (328 feet).
Scientists have confirmed a cave on the moon, not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago.
Lunar volcanism has mostly been confined to the near side of the Moon where basaltic lava plains are the dominant volcanic feature. [3] In contrast, positive topographic features such as domes, cones and shields represent only a tiny fraction of the lunar volcanic record. Volcanoes and lava plains have been found on both sides of the Moon. [3] [4]
