NASA releases striking image of Marius Hills pit on the Moon
Original: Marius Hills Pit Image
A new image of the Marius Hills pit, a deep hole in the Moon's volcanic region known as the Ocean of Storms, has been released. The pit is one of several skylights believed to open into lava tubes beneath the lunar surface, which scientists consider potential shelters for future human explorers.
Why now: Space agencies periodically release dramatic lunar images, and the pit's potential relevance to future Moon missions draws attention.
