Headline: Moon cave “suitable for habitation purposes”, scientists declare
Caption: A new study by the journal Nature Astronomy has uncovered a lunar tunnel that can be accessed by astronauts. The surface of the moon is hostile to human life, with temperatures capable of ranging from 127C to -173C. The surface is also vulnerable to meteorite impacts and is exposed to dangerous levels of cosmic radiation, 150 times more powerful than Earth.
