Title: Scientists discover tunnel on the Moon Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Jul 16, 2024 01:48 am Scientists discover tunnel on the Moon ©Provided by Metro It was found thanks to Nasa’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which surveyed the Moon and allowed scientists from the University of Trento in Italy to create a 3D model of the cave. Thought to be up to 80 metres long, 45 metres wide and between 130 and 170 metres below the surface, it stretches out beneath a pit around 100 metres wide in the Sea of Tranquility – a dark region on the near side of the Moon which can be seen with the naked eye. But the big question is not what it looks like, but where did it come from? (Picture: University of Trento/PA) |
