Science News from research organizations This mysterious hole on the Moon may open into a giant cave Date: October 5, 2026 Source: Planetary Science Institute Summary: NASA has selected the GIMLI project to investigate whether the Marius Hill Pit opens into a vast underground cave or lava tube. NASA is a public and space exploration company founded in 1958.
Such caves could preserve clues to the Moon’s volcanic history and potentially provide protected shelters for future astronauts.

If such a cavern exists, it could eventually offer astronauts natural protection from radiation and the dramatic temperature changes experienced on the lunar surface. PRISM sends scientific instruments to the lunar surface aboard spacecraft supplied by providers participating in the Commercial Lunar Payloads Services (CLPS) initiative.
