An abundance of domes, cones, and volcanic rilles and channels is characteristic of the Marius Hills. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed a pit that could be a skylight in a lava tube, indicating that part of its roof has collapsed, as often happens after lava tubes cease to be active.

An area displaying a lava tube and rilles is the Marius Hills region In 2008, an opening to a lava tube in this area may have been discovered by the Japanese Kaguya spacecraft. [ 5 ] The skylight was photographed in more detail in 2011 by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter , showing both the 65-meter-wide pit and the floor of the pit about 36 ...

The Lava River Cave in Coconino National Forest. An 8-year-old boy who went missing for over a day while his family was visiting a national forest in northern Arizona has been found safe.
Lunar pit in Mare Tranquillitatis. Lunar lava tubes form a potentially important location for constructing a future lunar base, which may be used for local exploration and development, or as a human outpost to serve exploration beyond the Moon. A lunar lava cave potential has long been suggested and discussed in literature and thesis. [27]
