Newly Discovered Hole On Moon Leads To Network Of Tubes

Images have revealed a hole on the Moon’s surface that is at least 80 metres deep and may lead to an underground tunnel more than 365 metres wide which is part of an entire network of such winding tubes.

Scientists are hoping for clearer shots from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, but the impression so far is that such a tunnel network could provide shelter for astronauts or potential future Moon colonists. I just plain wonder if they could combine it with the recent discovery of water for one kickass underground waterpark. [New Scientist via Pop Sci]

  • Pretty sure this is where my mother in law is from one of those holes

    Any one else think they should build a millenium falcon as a joke and “fly” it into one of those holes? I half expect a big blind worm to be in there.

  • Total Recall much?
