Detecting 200 suspected water holes on the Moon
The latest information was sent by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a network of lava tubes beneath the moon's surface.
More than 200 holes that are ancient lava tubes on the moon could be the way into the world of ice and water on the moon.
The latest information was sent by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a network of lava tubes beneath the moon's surface.
In the past, these pipes were the gateway for lava to surface. But now, they can become "sources of life" for astronauts.

Approximately 200 are detected lava tube mouths. They are concentrated in the northernmost region of the moon, between a larger crater. Scientists liken these holes to "ceiling windows". If the search is followed, astronauts can access the ice and even liquid water hidden under the arid ground of the moon.
The images above are analyzed and studied by SETI Institute (Institute for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and Mars Institute (USA). Scientists say astronauts can use this source of water in upcoming missions.
While the resolution of the image does not allow 100% of these holes to be identified as the door to water and ice storage, the results of the study, analyze the date of this suspicion.
This finding also makes scientists happy because if there is such a solid entrance, they will have to dig less by the moon to find water. In the near future, exploration robots will be sent to study more clearly about these pits, before people land and explore water sources.
