Chandrayaan-1 found Human Habitat on Moon

On Wednesday some tunnels have been uncovered under the surface of the moon by India’s Chandrayaan-1 mission that could even support human habitation in the future.

Dr Ranganath R Navalgund, the Director of Indian Space Research Organization’s Space Applications Centre based in Ahmadabad, said that an Indian instrument called terrain mapping camera has identified “new types of rocks” as well as hollow tunnels.

Navalgund unveiled, “Tubes which are hollow have been found below the surface of the moon. Such things have also been identified from the Chandrayaan mission … from terrain mapping camera … which was our own instrument. Your browser may not support display of this image. Now those tunnels which have not collapsed … which are below the surface of the moon and which have been identified … are somewhat interesting features.”

He ended up saying, “Not today, not tomorrow but in years to come, the tunnels could be possible areas where one could have certain habitation.”
