Summary
Researchers at the University of Kent used artificial intelligence (AI) to find two possible cave entrances on the Moon. These caves could help future space missions by providing shelter or water sources.
Key Facts
- AI found two potential cave entrances on the Moon.
- These caves could help humans survive on future space missions.
- The Bel'kovich A Pit is near the Moon's north pole and might be a water source.
- The South Marius Hills Pit is in an area with many lava tubes.
- The AI model scanned NASA images to find the caves.
- The AI is called Essa, short for "entrances to sub-surface areas."
- The caves might protect against radiation and micrometeorite impacts.
- This finding could lead to using these caves as bases for Moon or Mars missions.
