Colonie sur la lune? Des scientifiques auraient trouvé le site parfait

Pourrait-on installer une colonie dans un tunnel sous la surface? Il semble que oui. Déjà il y a une cinquantaine d'années on avançait que de la lave aurait créé des tunnels, mais sans jamais être en mesure d'appuyer l'hypothèse par des observations. Une équipe japonaise prouve aujourd'hui l'existence des tunnels.

 "NASA’s Ronald Greeley hypothesized in 1971 that one of the great channels in the moon’s Marius Hills region might in fact be a collapsed tunnel. But he admitted that no mission had yet photographed a lunar cave entrance — and some doubted they even existed.

Half a century after Greeley’s paper was published and NASA left the moon behind, in a paper published this week, Japanese researchers say they've found proof of the tunnels no one could see.

Japan calls its Kaguya orbiter the “largest lunar mission since the Apollo program.” It was launched in 2007 with state-of-the-art instruments, deployable satellites and a mission to solve the great mysteries of the moon’s origin."
