Mars Massive lava tubes on Mars and the moon could be home to life, researchers find The tubes are likely between 100 and 1,000 times the size of those on Earth. By Chris Ciaccia Fox News.

These lava tubes could help shelter astronauts, as well as provide new information about the moon and Mars. “The existence of stable huge voids below the Moon subsurface, potentially accessible ...

Lava tubes, which also exist on Earth, could potentially be sealed off, warmed up and then pressurized with a breathable atmosphere, the team has hypothesized. File photo: Human life on Mars.

Lava tubes on Earth, Moon and Mars: A review on their size and morphology revealed by comparative planetology. Earth-Science Reviews, 2020; 103288 DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2020.103288; ...

In the lower gravity environment of Mars, we see evidence for lava tubes that are 250 meters (820 feet) in width. On the moon, these tunnels could be a kilometer (0.62 miles) or more across and ...

Lava tubes like those in Hawaii can help astronauts prepare for what life might be like on Mars or the moon. ... These astronauts are preparing for life on Mars by living in Hawaiian lava tubes.

The title of this study is "Lava tubes on Earth, Moon and Mars: A review on their size and morphology revealed by comparative planetology" and it was published in the journal Earth-Science Reviews.

Created when molten lava flows under the surface, lava tubes are thought to exist on both Mars and the moon, providing potential shelter for human explorers.
