An Italian research team published evidence Monday of a cavern on the moon that they believe could one day provide an ideal location for astronauts to set up camp.

The cave, which is 40 metres wide and tens of metres long, is open on the moon’s surface at the Sea of Tranquility, approximately 400 kilometres from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago during the Apollo 11 mission.

Scientists say it could shelter astronauts from the moon’s harsh surface environment, solar radiation and micrometeorite strikes, therefore allowing for “long-term exploration.”

Global’s Nathaniel Dove takes a closer look at this promising discovery.
