Why can't I create topic in science section?

An Italian-led team of researchers says the cave could be used to shelter future astronauts and explorers.

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

An Italian-led team of scientists on Monday said there is evidence of a sizeable cave, accessible from the deepest known pit on the moon. The cave is located at the Sea of Tranquility, 400km (250 miles) from Apollo 11’s landing site.

Scientists find underground cave on moon
An Italian-led team of researchers says the cave could be used to shelter future astronauts and explorers.

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

An Italian-led team of scientists on Monday said there is evidence of a sizeable cave, accessible from the deepest known pit on the moon. The cave is located at the Sea of Tranquility, 400km (250 miles) from Apollo 11’s landing site.

The scientists said the pit, like more than 200 others discovered on the moon, was created by the collapse of a lava tube.

“Lunar caves have remained a mystery for over 50 years. So it was exciting to be able to finally prove the existence” of one, Leonardo Carrer and Lorenzo Bruzzone of the University of Trento told The Associated Press in an email.

Writing in the journal Nature Astronomy, the researchers added that they analysed radar measurements by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and compared the results with lava tubes on Earth.

The radar data reveal only the initial part of the underground cavity, according to the scientists. They estimated it is at least 40 metres (130ft) wide and tens of yards (metres) long, probably more.

Moreover, most of the pits seem to be located in the moon’s ancient lava plains, according to the scientists. There also could be some at the moon’s south pole, the planned location of NASA’s astronaut landings later this decade.

Permanently shadowed craters there are believed to hold frozen water that could provide drinking water and rocket fuel.

During NASA’s Apollo programme, 12 astronauts landed on the moon, beginning with Armstrong and Aldrin on July 20, 1969.

The findings also suggested there could be hundreds of pits on the moon and thousands of lava tubes.

The team of researchers said such places could then serve as a natural shelter for astronauts, protecting them from cosmic rays and solar radiation as well as from micrometeorite strikes.

You open ur mouth waaaaa like A Goat to jump on replies like a Fuuuuuuuu ..... Do u have anybody in your family that has cancer??

Abroad almost 90% of families have at least somebody in their family or extended that died of cancer

You need cane.

CoronaVirusPro:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Netanyahu should know that, if Trump should win, Israel is cooked and same applies to Ukraine!

Putin just be chilling somewhere waiting for that to happen.

You're known to give predictions based on your own silly emotions. And have been proven wrong time and time again.

Lezzlie:
Democrats/Liberals are finding this very embarrassing.


These demented demonic radicals even called the assassination attempt staged.


You will begin to understand why they see nothing wrong in a man marrying another man and call him wife. There's no difference between liberals and islamic terrorists.

Mind you, the would-be assassin deliberately registered as a Republican to detract motive while all his donations and money go to the Democrats

Not just to detract motives. Many Democrats registered as Republicans during the primaries to ensure Trump doesn't come out as the republican presidential candidate

Flame333:
Thank God, he wasn't a Democrat..

Poor guy couldn't rid himself off the mess brought upon him by Trump administration.. If not, why this act..

Imagine say Buhari wanted to extend his stay then... Hmmm

Many Democrats registered as Republicans to vote out trump during republican primaries.

The shooter also donated money to democrats. Get informed before opening mouth wah

infohenry:
So when are we getting refund.

Otilo. Na una wey rush do am. Law abiding citizens nshị na arụ.

Khariza:
The question then is.... what are the company’s so-called strategic goals that suddenly is not in alignment with their initial investment decision on such huge funds??
It's either this drama was agreed and planned from the onset, between Dangote as a business, and upper echelons of the NNPC based on vested/personal interests, or that President Tinubu's government does not align with the earlier arrangement by Buhari's team.

Suddenly my dear. As in less than 5 years, strategy don change. And they want foreign investors to take us serious when it is glaring that politics and corruption is having a field day.

Dogalmighty17:
If 2.7 billion Dollars gives NNPC a 20% stake, how does paying 1.3 billion dollars leave NNPC with a 7.2% stake?

Do these clowns think we are fools? What kind of reductionism is that? This is madness! You are investing in a private company that buys what you produce from another company in the US. The NNPC is a profit driven organization so how the hell didn't they position themselves to be sole crude suppliers to Dangote?

This refinery is a crime scene. Forget all that rubbish that he can't get crude from Nigeria. Importing from outside the country negates the reduced price of fuel Nigerians should hope to pay.

That's why that refinery is dragging to start supplying petrol locally. When they do and fix their price, compare the price with that of similar refineries around the world. You will know that we got ripped off.

I have no issues with whatever Mr Dangote is doing. He is first and foremost a businessman. He is out for profit.

The value of dangote refinery when nnpc invested, and it's value now can't be the same. Obviously there has been another round of investment.

Cancer is as a result of junk food and radiation from electronic gadgets.
Seems black gat strong immune system

Open mouth wah. Ignorance jumping out.

dominique:
Because a lot of Africans are too poor to get properly tested, they end up dying of "protracted illnesses" since they were never diagnosed

Leave that fuul.

jeff1993:
Why is it that cancer affects white people more than blacks??

Is it safe to say cancer is a white man illness??

Open mouth waa. Ignorance jumping out.

BlissGod:
If you had sense you would know it was staged. 5 shots and no body behind him was shot, doesn't that sound stupid. Guy dey use your sense these politicians will do any nonsense to gain sympathy. Trump will do worse than that, he's desperate and Americans are gullible for most

If you had sense, you'd have known those 5 shots didnt all come from him. All the news you've read stated the shooter is dead. Na now and arrow Dem use kill am?

Onuku calling people senseless.

Almiron:
USA na strange country, according to reports, he was registered Republican but donated money to The Democrats campaign. I don't understand his motives yet, but we will find out in the coming days. I heard they found explosives in his car. Whatever reason he was the loser cos he missed and thank God he missed.

Democrats were encouraged to register as Republicans during republican primaries to vote against Trump.

Sirtee19:
This shows that the American is learning fast from African politics, almost in everything, in the same strategic way of winning elections.

No need to self hate here. There are several opportunities to do that.

That said, Trump is not the first American presidential candidate to survive an assassination attempt. And More than one American presidents have actually been assassinated.

waxyung:
Na Trump go plan this thing

Go and plan make bullet pass your ear make we see

seanfer:
Did you think if the shooter really wanted to kill Trump he will miss?

Trump is not the first presidential candidate to survive assassination attempt.

Love800:
Is it not blocks they use to do the bolded?
What are you saying?

Concrete, and iron rods. Not blocks.

arantess:
eventually your female relations will get same fate and it will be funny

The females in his life has no hand in what he said. Why wish them evil because of him? Do you think someone like that has sense enough to feel bad?

Padipadi:
Homosapien, so you're a gaynibal!
I rest my case and gave up on you.
You ll suffer for 600 years for drilling a hardcore borehole!

Character dey Shaa 😂

Padipadi:
It's legal to film officers especially when it seems like cases of implications. But it's illegal to post it online for clout chasing that homo sapiens like you can drool over.
Now, you ll suffer no data for 600 years for trying to sound wise but you're a dum**ass!
Come for mental treatment asap!

Werey

See as you dey post pictures of yourself everywhere fine boy.

Olichoke:
What do you expect when moulders produce 80 blocks from one bag of cement

Blocks are not a major structural part of a building. If it's just the blocks, a house won't collapse. Major structures are foundations, lintels, beams, and columns. Then the roof.

Only time blocks can cause collapse is in bungalows with no columns.

Padipadi:
He should be arrested for filming officers on duty. Not cos of one foul odour black soap and ringworm infected local sponge.
Iberibeism is worrying the content creator that posted this.
All of you yeye bloggers ll suffer from data for 600 years. Una nogo see good content to create for another 600 years for serving us this crap!

Lastly, I don't support police extortion or bribery so any officer wey do extortion ll suffer for 600 years too

While trying to sound wise, you displayed your ignorance.
So it's illegal to film the police or what?

Kizzygentle:
As far as it's very neat, it's always beautiful. I have long nails but not too long and very neat. Every girl always love my nails. They always tell me they love it..

Women aren't particularly known for saying what they mean.

OkoYibo:
Na Igbo woman. Na so them dey do.

While women are supposed to be tender, loving and able to nurture children, Igbo women are the opposite.
Igbo women are the worst in Africa. They are the only women who prey on the weak and on their young ones.
Too much testosterone is in their blood which makes them grow beards, yam legs and behave irrationally.

And yet una men no fit leave them alone.

sexiestharam:
Is it hunger Nigerians are experiencing or low purchasing power? There is food but many Nigerians can't afford it. Is that not different from hunger? Or am I getting it wrong?

Demand and supply doesn't work that way.

If there's abundance of food, the price will come down. If not, it goes up. Especially for food.

iwaeda:
Instead stopping insecurity, so people can access farms. Committee that will be handsomely rewarded.

Start with 500 million.

chrysso83:
This tribal thing on this platform is sickening. I thought Seun had a rule against tribal remarks on this platform. Is it no longer active?
The way every single post here degenerates to tribal war is alarming. It should stop really.

When Seun wrote that yeye post screaming end to tribalistic comments .. I was just laughing.

Unless nairaland has been bought over by someone else. But who in his right sense will buy such a sewage site eh? I won't even advertise my product on the site. Imagine my product being shown right next to a tribal slur.. lol

I will reply with bigger foul language here to anyone that dares me, since that's what sells on nairaland.

Fncking clown he is.

Funkyswagzz:
Dude there are times for politicking. There's a reason for this creation of new state and the time is right. We commend tinubu for his audacity to allow such bill but please don't draw us back

What do you mean by Tinubus audacity to allow such bill? Please explain to me.

adebowales:
na only 2 but na mistake

Lolz. Finally

Rexymania:
You just disrespected that your fiancee. You have feelings for your sales girl, that was why she was bold enough to tell you she has feelings for you

You're only jealous, you ain't concerned about your business

Lemme advice you, put work first...if she leaves another sales girl will come and your business will strive on if your products are good

Simple

Not just feelings. He don nack the girl, na why she get that boldness dey talk.
