10,000-meter tunnel discovered on the moon

As the closest natural body to Earth, the role of the moon is not simply to decorate the night sky, it is also an essential and important part of the origin of life on Earth, if it were not for the existence of the moon, whether the Earth today would still be so lush life, may have to play a big question mark.

In the ancient times when technology was not developed, due to the lack of observation equipment and shallow understanding of the universe, people imagined that the moon was full of pavilions and pavilions in which countless immortals sang and danced and drank.

In modern times, with the emergence of advanced observation equipment, the desolate scenery of the moon has disappointed many people who had expectations of it, but this disappointment has not dampened people's curiosity about it.

With the successful implementation of various lunar exploration programs, countless rumors have sprung up, such as the moon being a creation of advanced civilizations, the moon's backside being parked with planes from World War II, the moon having an alien base, and so on.

Is there really an alien base on the moon?

For decades, countless probe satellites have been observing and monitoring the moon uninterruptedly, and even the back of the moon has left the footprints of human probes, scientists have not found suspected building traces anywhere on the moon, so this claim is just an unfounded rumor.

However, although no traces of extraterrestrial bases have been found on the Moon, the huge "skylights" found in many places on the Moon's surface tell us a fact that we have to admit - the barren and desolate Moon also hides many unknown human secrets. The secret.

Earlier, the U.S. Lunar Orbiter Scout took pictures and measurements of a "skylight" in the "Mare Tranquillitatis" region of the Moon. The measurements showed that the "skylight" was about 80 meters in diameter and more than 100 meters deep, while a "skylight" in the "Mare Ingenii" region The depth is 70 meters and the width reaches about 120 meters.

The moon is barren, there is no possibility of life and signs of life on it, and in the Apollo program, although a total of 12 astronauts landed on the moon, but they only dug some soil on the surface of the moon to bring back, not to mention that they simply do not have the ability to dig such a huge scale of giant craters, so how these huge craters are formed? Is it true that humans have been looking for aliens excavated them?

Scientists confirmed after research: the builder is not human

After careful observation and study of the craters, scientists believe that these huge craters are not isolated, there should be long tunnels under the surface of the moon to connect them, and the length of these tunnels can even reach more than 10,000 meters.

As for why there are such strange structures on the moon, some examples on Earth may be able to explain the answer. Many people may not know that there are actually many similar craters on the surface of the Earth, and after hundreds of years of research on these craters, scientists have probably known the specific reasons for their formation.

In the Hawaiian region, the volcanoes here are still very active today because of the plate movement. During eruptions, hot lava gushes out of the crater and flows down the surrounding terrain in spectacular rivers of lava that eventually flow into the ocean.

In the process of flowing from high to low, the solidified lava at the bottom will gradually raise the underground ground, making the ground over which the lava river flows flat and slowing down the speed of the river.

Because the uppermost part of the lava river and air contact is cooler, so it will slowly cool and solidify into a crust that covers the top of the lava river, under the continuous impact of lava stacking, the thickness of the crust will slowly increase, forming a structure similar to a pipe.

With the cessation of volcanic eruptions, the raging lava gradually dried up, and eventually only the uppermost layer of lava cooled to form a pipe structure. Over the years, these structures were slowly buried by the dust, becoming the very mysterious looking underground lava tunnels.

Currently, scientists have discovered spectacular lava tunnels in several regions, such as the United States, Vietnam, South Korea and other places where volcanic movements are very frequent.

Because of the Earth's gravity, these tunnels are not very large, usually between a dozen meters to dozens of meters, the smallest only barely able to let an adult pass sideways.

Similar to Earth's earlier environment, the Moon was also a lava-strewn, volcanic "purgatory" planet in its early days. The "lunar seas" (dark areas on the Moon visible to the naked eye) we see today are evidence of the Moon's volcanic activity billions of years ago.

During volcanic eruptions, basalt from deep within the Moon was sent to the surface, where it filled in the Moon's original pockmarked surface to create a large flat plain.

Because of the low reflectivity of basalt, these plains on the Moon look dark from Earth, like a large ocean, so the ancients called the lunar surface plains the "Moon Sea".

In the present situation, most of the lunar lava tunnels appear in the Moon Sea area, but this does not mean that there are no lava tunnels elsewhere, just because the Moon Sea topography is relatively flat, lava tunnel traces are more clear compared to other areas.

Because the moon's surface gravity is only about one-sixth that of Earth, all lava tubes on the moon are usually much larger than those on Earth, with the largest even reaching more than 10,000 meters.

Mars has a similar structure

It is worth mentioning that not only the Moon and Earth have found such strange tunnels, but also the Mars Global Surveyor has found such strange tunnels next to the riverbed in the "Mare Acida rium" region of Mars.

Unlike the Moon, which is hidden underground, the tunnels found on Mars are almost completely exposed on the surface, and look somewhat similar to the bridges that connect two bases in science fiction movies.

As scientists suggest that ancient Mars had the same natural environment as Earth, coupled with the fact that these "tunnels" look nothing like natural formations, many people once thought that there was still some intelligent life left on Mars.

Could these tunnels be useful to humans?

Since the beginning of exploration, humans have been hoping to build bases on its surface in order to permanently develop and explore this seemingly barren planet. But without the protection of the atmosphere, the lunar environment is extremely harsh for humans, not only no air that can be breathed directly, and even have to suffer from 120 ℃ and -130 ℃ of ice and fire.

In this case, the moon's surface does not seem to be an ideal base to set up, and the deep underground lava tunnels seem to be able to become the perfect habitat for humans.

Of course, the use of lava tunnels is still unrealistic, on the one hand, we do not know what its internal structure is, on the other hand, astronauts are also difficult to descend to nearly 100 meters deep in the pit.

But I believe that with the continuous progress of technology, humans will one day be able to enter these huge tunnels to explore, and this day may not be far away.
