- The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission on the Moon as of now documented 278 pits, of those several are entrances to lava tube caves. In this video I go over some of the more interesting ones and talk about many different pit clusters.
All of the images of the pits on the Moon shown in this video can be found on the official site for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Intro and outro in this video was made with Space Engine.

They suspect ice to be in permanently-shaded craters, so that really got me thinking about the possibility of finding large quantities of it deep in caves. Absolutely fascinating.
That seems incredibly unlikely. There's no source of water down there, and no source of energy to make silicon hydroxide from silicon oxide in the lunar regolith. That requires high energy photons, which can't get into caves. It is likely that much of the water on the moon's surface today is a result of silicon hydroxide reacting with hydrogen over incredibly long periods of time.
There should be small amounts of silver in the same regolith.
Astronauts can have ice in their drinks.

This reminds me of "Explorers on the Moon" where Tintin finds ice in a cave. He and Snowy get trapped, but Haddock manages to rescue them. Very exciting stuff for me at ten! Thanks for the video.
Any permanent base on the moon must be underground due to the intense radiation. These caves and lava tubes will have to be assessed for their potential use as locations for permanent bases.
There are already bases on the moon. Some of the pits are entrances and some are vents. Humans were asked not to return.
Interesting and relevant content as always, keep it up Dreksler
Just imagine.. being able to explore those 'Pits'.. The mind boggles!
it's -250 to -410 degrees in those pits you have fun with that
Yet with all the missions to Mars and our moon we never investigated these pits and caves. That’s the problem relying on solar to power probes and rovers. It drastically limits your ability to explore regions like this.
Irregular pits are probably collapsed lava tubes and don’t have cave systems.
@@nemesisnick66 I would assume that deep inside the caves and surrounded by the moon it would be warm or average out temperature wise.
I'm excited for the day when we can explore our first caves on other celestial bodies.
It would be crazy if people had the opportunity to explore planets
That will be a while. Caving is very dangerous by nature.
beware the Sarlak
@@Chris.DaviesIndeed. I particularly hesitate to walk around in moon caverns. In my experience, the cave systems on Mercury are much easier to navigate. Next year I'll go climb some mountains on Jupiter, that'll be great.
@@Chris.Davies Not so dangerous if you're experienced and equipped and in good shape; and so much fun and exciting. Should never do it alone. Exploring some of these should be top priority to find water, not to say life, and more easily make a home and workshops.
Cooling vent- leads right to the main reactor. : ))
Lol!😂👍
Always a pleasure! I have loved this channel for years. I am also commenting to help this channel with the algorithm.
Another great vid Dreksler. Hope I get to see humanity explore these caves some day. Just thinking about what we could learn about the Moon, and the Earth's, history from that picture of the pit wall with all the layers. Fascinating stuff.
Always a great day when you upload 👍
Very informative and well narrated video. Good Job! 👍🏼
That was fascinating. The patterns the craters make seen from above close-up are truly beautiful and what an interesting prospect that would make to form habitats in the caves and rills. Fabulous content as always. :)
The Moon is a giant anomaly and it shouldn't be there as I understand it? Have you heard about how the moon "rang like a bell" when the Apollo 12 moon lander crashed into it and they had set up seismographic equipment?
@@drjerry5389 No, I haven't heard that. That's really weird. I have heard the theory that she may have been a sister planet before crashing into earth early on and becoming a satellite. I like that theory so I always call her the little sister, lol. She's certainly a bit of a mystery. :)
@@DevonExplorer Some of the minerals on the moon doesn't exist on Earth except for in meteor impacts we had in Antarctica among other places. Now when a UFO disclosure seems to have started it all looks weirder and weirder? Bob Lazar claimed that a type of helium was used as fuel on some retrieved crafts and it was discovered in 2005. Im trying to be as sceptical as possible for the wild UFO claims. But when you hear confirming information from several independent sources it makes you start thinking?
@@DEPORTER_SUPPORTER I don't actually know but my guess is that the Apollo sites are a lot smaller and not so significant as the holes seen here.
Habitats? It's a dead place.
The Moon has many surprises waiting for us. Can't wait to see them, from my bedroom exploratorium.
Yeah? Read about the Zulu
It would be so awesome if we discovered some lava tubes that extend for multiple miles in the moon. We could seal the openings and pressurize them for an excellent moon base.
The entire Moon is a subterranean world created billions of years ago
Surely the optimal ones have already been taken
@@naradaian LOL. Who would have taken them?
No. You could not do that. Lava tubes are not air tight. Not in the slightest. And the ground is mostly -180 degrees C.
Lava tubes are useless, unless you have a very efficient way to enter and exist them. And people hate living in caves!
@@naradaian Google Earth/Mars has photos of tubes with holes in the surface. Inside the holes you can see construction.
I sure as heck wouldn't want to try in a Space suit to climb over some of those rocks in the illustration of two astronauts looking into the cave.
Yeah and not just a space suit and helmet but pretty much everything a mine explorer would be wearing. You would look like the stay-puff-marshmellow-man.
Those are some nice pits 👍
A rubble pit moon with a light metal core?. As it collected from the accretion disc or ring, the impacts form solidification of the surface, with ferrite overflow pillars holding it up, retaining its rubble structure inside between the sheets, giving much room for cave like cell structures in layers. As the rubble pit moon grew it put new layers on top of already formed circular solidifications. The inner layers could still retain some of its hollow nature. It could mean that the moon is hollow by packs of circular solidification sheets. It would be interesting to examine these pits and see if this fits such a model.
Thank you. Very well researched and presented!
Imagine that. Several years to wait for a limited expedition, disappointing. Worst thing is, the Moon is right there!!! Life would be so much more interesting if there were at least three simultaneous expeditions to these caves that we can watch live from Earth. Space science can always be a cruel tease.
If our politicians would allow more budget to our space agencies, so much more can be done.
I had no idea there were so many of these pits. Besides protection from radiation, caves and lava tubes would protect from small meteorites and I would think be free from dust that covers the surface.
Wow these Moon pits are amazing!
Man I'm watching you since 2017 , I love your work 😊
Thats a lying bot for you …you joined in 2023
This is one of the best videos for seeing what really goes on there. Every anomaly has things in it that were built on the Moon by those who live there. A carefully examined screen shot will reveal this.
Not only the United States but other Countries like Japan and India have mapped the surface of the Moon. In this video they are showing Crystal Clear Images of 30 foot diameter holes in the moon which means it won't be as clear but you could see a Car on the Moon with this kind of resolution. I love all of the CZcams "Base found on Moon" videos. They all have the blurry distance shots of boulders with blue outlines trying to convince you it's a building or some other manufactured object. That is why HUMANS need to be building on the Moon and leaving Monoliths so tall they can be seen from space. So we are the ones that somebody in the future during another Rise of Humans on Earth (and they once again achieve space flight) can find our remnants on the Moon in the future. We could also leave a complete history of Modern Man on the Moon as a History Lesson that could last for millions of years.
It's a no-brainer there's giant worms in those holes just waiting for the Millennium Falcon to show up wonder which hole the lucky worm will be
Pets on the moon 🐕 was definitely not on my bingo card this year 🧐 lol
Bro I'm addicted to ur videos
Thank you, a professional quality video with very nice VO
awesome stuff, thanks for sharing
Amazing that these features aren't talked about and or explored more often.
Can you imagine how cool it would be to rappel down and examine the unique stratigraphy? I'm thinking peridot, olivine, quartz and perhaps diamonds. Very cool
...And lots and lots of grey/brown basalt. I would love to go there and hang out on the side of the strata.
A big chunk of CO2.
Chances are there is a great deal of very sharp crystalline material, built up in fragile filligreed spacial structures over eons, that would easily slice up your spacesuit.
Bots talking to bots about caves on the moon- who else knows
Those are the Stargate photos that they use to transmit ourselves from planet to planet
Excellent video.
I learned from Apollo 18 that these pits are where the rock aliens live.
Indeed!🤔👍
It's safe to assume that we'll eventually explore some of these pits, which is very exciting, but I think it's also safe to assume that it will not be in the very near future. Being that there are so many of them, I'm "worried" that we'll explore one or two -- or possibly a small handful -- and ultimately decide that there's no point in exploring others, potentially missing out on an incredible discovery of some sort that may lay within the pits that end up being unexplored.
I've always believed that pits and lava tubes throughout the moon have the potential to be excellent locations for colonies, better protecting colonists from solar radiation, so I definitely hope that we not only explore as many of them as possible but that we also use them to our advantage.
I'm a major space-nut so I seriously struggle to be patient with missions on other bodies -- i.e the moon, Mars, etc. -- as well as the colonizing of other worlds within our solar system, space exploration, and so forth, and I absolutely hate waiting for these kinds of things to eventually happen.
These pits are like massive sinkholes and would prove challenging to explore but the "ramped" pits would obviously be easier for us to explore; Lacus Mortis definitely seems like a great candidate to start out with in terms of exploration.
I think a probe capable of crawling - like a centipede, but with fewer legs - might be the best way. Wheels would get stuck, and a flying machine would be too fragile.
We can't get the Government out of SpaceX's way or we would already be back on the moon. They have delayed Starship Development by 2 years and at SpaceX pace that was enough time to perfect Starship & Super Heavy. They would be ready for Service TODAY if it wasn't for Government Delays, instead of still waiting for the go ahead on a 2nd test flight that should have been done 2 years ago. We should be launching the first Cargo Ship for the Moon Research Lab that we visit for the 2 week Daytime Window then shut down and return to earth during the Night Time. But that is just one of the things I would promote as President. Get behind SpaceX, Electric Vehicles, Thorium reactors (as a safer power source until Fusion is running), Bio research to CURE DISEASE not WEAPONIZE it, Fair and reasonable tax system for all, housing food and social services for the poor and not 1 Homeless Veteran in America! But that is just what I would do.
Mare is pronounced "mah ray", not "mayr". It's from the latin word for sea, because that's what people thought they were.
I just checked, apparently "mah ray" is also not the Latin way of pronouncing the word, it's just closer to the original compared to "mayr" but it's still noticeably different. So this is just another case of English not making sense in terms of pronunciation as it is not based on consistent and logical rules. I don't think people should "cah ray" too much about this. You can find the Latin pronunciation here: forvo.com/word/mare/#la
Seems like it’s a sign that the moons is withering away , like a sandcastle forming sinkholes
Can you please do the future and past of titan moon of Saturn next
I haven’t watched one of his videos in a while and holy crap man his English got so good
GREAT ONE💯‼️
I am now a huge Moon pit fan!
Not really you are a bot
Fascinating.
You are the best!!!
Wow, ive never known this information.
Fossilized space worms? In any case, there are quite a few of them, and it might be a more interesting exploration than walking around on a mare and picking up rocks. 100 meters? That's rope-length. It can be explored with ordinary equipment.
Love this ❤
Subsidence rules apply. The height of the cave into which the surface subsided is determined thus: surface to depth of hole =0.8 × cave height. So an 8m collapse was into a ten metre high cave.
Nice reporting. I just found you and subscribed immediately. A little help with your Latin pronunciation on "Mare" for lunar seas. For a video like this, I would simply use the English convention, and call it "Sea of Tranquility". BUT, if you are going to use the latin name, be aware that "Mare" is pronounced "MAH-reh" with emphasis on the first syllable. IDEALLY, you would trip the "r" as we do in Spanish, but that is hard for some individuals, so a rounded American "r" would be fine, and "mare" would then rhyme with "FAR-way", more or less. Hope this helps.
Just as NASA did with the Martian Quad Copter, a Copter should be developed for the Moons very low Gravity and lack of atmosphere, using something like Chemical Thrusters instead of rotating blades, to explore and video these Pits
Absolutely. I was thinking the exact same thing.
@@VaraLaFey I've since seen those types of vehicles being tested, using multiple thrusters
@@jayc2469 Suggested search terms?
@@VaraLaFey watch?v=KBMU6l6GsdM
glad i found this chanel because i have some absolutely mind blowing screen shots from a crater. there is a huge spire and a huge pit in the middle of a rise with 4 slightly rounded walls. both are in same crater and ive taken many shots of these things so i know its not some glitch with the LRO. pleast tell me where i can show these things ro someone who'll know what were looking at here.
Aliens are parking their saucers there
Sub earned. Anyone else ever day dream that if you were Superman, the first thing you would do is fly to the moon and explore it?
NASA has partnered with the National Speleological Society.
This member has for over a half century discovered and have
been the first of my species to see what nobody else has.
Explorers like me locate things unknown to science inside
our planet.
The greatest discovery of all time could be to find the right cave in the Moon and begin a new civilization of cavemen.
makes sense, one hole is for ships landing and the other one is ship leaving the lava tube underground citys
Pits and Caves is just another word for entrances and exits.
There are probably miles of these lava caves on the moon !
I had no idea these pictures existed.
Is there a successful attempt to map the lava tubes? By radio waves? landed probes?
Right On
makes a great story for bedtime.
Sure seems odd one day reaching the moon was more important than humanity itself. Then after allegedly landing on the moon , we have absolutely zero interest in the moon now. Am I the only one that finds that odd ??
Nice
"Six of us went down into the pit..."
Love your vids Dreksler!!!
Direct from the CIA so that then it can say, “See, no big deal” when UFOs inside the moon are disclosed.
😂👍
Now playing: Pink Floyd - Dark side of the Moon
A very interesting video. The craters mentioned and the pits within them, highly resemble electrical pitting and high voltage discharge, just on a larger scale. The riles too resemble excavation as the result of a travelling arc discharge.
The electric universe theory?😂
They could also have been caused by escaping gases.
Couldn’t escaping frozen gases cause some of these pits ?
WE SHOULD PUT NEIL DISGRACE TYSON INSIDE ONE OF THOSE HOLES...
Dreksler astral new CZcams video whooooooooooo
144 pitts is a very interesting number!
seems to me that Sarlak's once inhabited those moons, we need to investigate and look for fossils
Caves would be perfect natural setup locations for colonies, less work needed to secure yourself inside with an airlock system at the entrance.
Interesting
Some of these holes look exactly like those mysterious ground holes found in Siberia...
The Clangers lived in caves on the moon
That's the pits ! 😆
So I have a question... Where did the Lava go ?
Drained away and cooled into rock somewhere else. You can create lava tubes with candle wax, if you have a candle handy.
Good question!🤔👍
Pity we dont crowdfund a bunch of drones sent to explore caves.
Did you know that the pit's natural enemy is the pile?
Perhaps an inflatable shelter placed inside a lava tube would make a good habitat.
Can you make a video on the oldest planet methuselah?
Imagine eating a 100mg edible and walking around a moon cave.
prob. Sarlaacs
or an Exogorth! (I had to look this up... Sy-O was an exogorth, the monster in the cave that the Millenium Falcon hid in after fleeing Hoth in the Empire Strikes Back.)
@smeeself 😂👍
@smeeself indeed!😱😂👍
@3:32 in the middle of the upper left quarter of the pic we can see what I'm calling the Rille/Hill Issue. Does anyone have an explanation for how rilles can go over hills and yet maintain their apparent width and depth by apparently collapsing evenly on their path from the lowlands through the highland and back to the lowland? Seems to me either the surface layer of the hill over the lava tube should be thicker and thus not collapse downward as much if at all, or the underlying lava tube magically went up the hill to keep a consistent surface thickness and did so without the lava building up in the lowland tube (which would stop the continuation of the tube downstream).
OR.... could the hills have come later without disturbing the rilles?
None of these scenarios make any sense to me at all.
supers découvertes ! sont 'elles habitées ???
The moon pulling a moon.
Cool. Then we can build underground cities and run shuttles to each. No problem with the micro mediators.
wow
JUST Like the ones that *_Have Been Photoshopped_** , on Earth*
At 13:12 you state that "it's been confirmed that the moon has water ice."
I have heard this theorized but i have not read or heard of us finding water on the moon or Mars yet.
Yes that is where the Giant Moon Worms live.
Your english is very good, can really hear you are making an effort in correct pronounciation.
The low gravity and the core is completely cooled down it’s like a sponge the surface is pulverized 1/56 the weight of the earth and 1/3 the size so it has to be unless you think it’s a old building or something
Someone other than me please count how many times he says "Pit or Pits" spoiler, it's a lot.
se ven muchos deslizamientos de tierra, must be so risky to get inside ...
I'll re-upload my findings on my channel. You got to see them.
Show the structures or at least the translucent domes
those pits couldn´t be habitable because the walls don´t seem to be safe: erosion, boulders collapsing or sand into the pits, so probably they are dangerous.
Make one about Dione
The caves on Mars is the place more likely to find microbes. If there's no life there it means Mars is dead.
I was expecting some analogue horror shit when clicking this video
😂👍
