The New Scientist website has an article saying that an opening which might be a lava tube mouth has been found in Kaguya images.
Wasn't there a proposal (possibly from one of the Lunar X Prize teams?) of a Lava Tube Explorer rover? This might be a possible destination... |

I'll add this to this thread because if its confirmed it might make the case for polar exploration even more interesting.
Skylights in the polar regions have been lacking up til now I think. https://seti.org/seti-institute/press-relea...north-pole-moon P |
