Sinuous collapse chains and skylights in lunar and Martian volcanic regions have often
been interpreted as collapsed lava tubes (also known as pyroducts). This hypothesis has …

It has long been recognised (eg, Ehricke 1985; Spudis 1996, 2016; Duke et al. 2006;
Benaroya 2010; Kornuta et al. 2019) that the Moon has the potential to play a pivotal role in …

Several potential subsurface openings have been observed on the surface of the Moon.
These lunar pits are interesting in terms of science and for potential future habitation …

Lunar collapse pits may provide access to subsurface lava tubes of unknown extent. We
present Diviner Lunar Radiometer measurements showing that the Mare Tranquillitatis and …

The Moon, as the closest celestial body to Earth, plays a pivotal role in the progression of
deep space exploration, and the establishment of research outposts on its surface …

Lunar lava tubes are underground channels formed by volcanic eruptions and lava flow
during the Moon's volcanic period. Intact lunar lava tubes have the potential to serve as …

The detection of lava tubes beneath the surfaces of the Moon and Mars has been a popular
research topic and challenge in planetary radar observation. In recent years, the Moon …

Nearly half a century ago, two papers postulated the likelihood of lunar lava tube caves
using mathematical models. Today, armed with an array of orbiting and fly‐by satellites and …

The internal structure of the Moon, from surface to core, preserves a record of its evolution
from accretion to present-day. The structure of the Moon is unique in the Solar System by …

Space radiation may cause DNA damage to cells and concern for the inheritance of
mutations in offspring after deep space exploration. However, there is no way to study the …
