This article explains a new find on the moon. It is a hole in the moon that is estimated to be nearly 213 feet wide, and more than 260 feet deep according to Geophysical Research Letters. The hole is said to be protected from the moon's harsh temperatures and meteorite strikes by a thin sheet of lava, this makes the hole a candidate for more research or even allow for someone to live inside of it. NASA is going to keep investigating this hole to try to find even more areas similar to it, and also to try to determine if they can set up base in something like this when they return to the moon. The return trip is set to be in 2020, and a set up temporary lunar colony by 2025 if all research goes as planned.

I think that this find is a very interesting and intriguing one. Our technology and research is mind blowing, how someone finds this small of a hole on the moon is beyond me. I hope that the trip in 2020 happens on schudule, and that they are able to set up a lunar colony for me research in 2025. Who knows, someday we might be living in a hole like this, or in a spacecraft like in the movies.
