The corona lava tube was also created similarly to those suspected on the moon, the team hypothesized. Lava tubes on Earth are most commonly formed when basaltic lava flows from a volcano and the ...

"The underground volcanic lava pipes by the Jingbo Lake are the most similar environment on Earth to the underground space of ...

A new study from the University of Florida analyzing moon rock samples from a Chinese lunar exploration mission is rewriting ...

In a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters, a collaborative research team from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and the University of Colorado, Boulder, have ...

An August 2020 study had suggested that lava tubes on the moon could reach 1 kilometer (3280.84 feet) in diameter. “We shouldn’t be too surprised if future exploration reveals even larger caves.

China's lunar rock samples – the first moon rocks returned to Earth in more than 40 years – show lava flowed there 2 billion years ago, according to scientists.

A moon lander from Firefly Aerospace was launched this morning carrying a variety of NASA science instruments and technology demonstrations. The Blue Ghost mission was launched by a SpaceX Falcon ...

The Moon’s surface is harsh and unforgiving, but beneath it lies a network of massive lava tubes that could serve as natural shelters for future lunar colonies.

The Man in the Moon was born of apocalyptic lava flows, not asteroid strikes. For thousands of years, humankind has stared up at the night sky and seen the Man in the Moon.

That makes the moon’s surface a brutal environment for humans. Temperatures are extreme, ranging from 260 degrees Fahrenheit in daylight and minus 280 degrees after nightfall, according to NASA.

Scientists have confirmed a cave on the moon, not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago this week, and suspect there are hundreds more that could house future astronauts.

Jupiter's super-volcanic moon, Io, boasts grand, meandering dunes formed through unconventional processes. Unlike on Earth, these features are the result of lava flows beneath the moon's surface.
