Chapter 1544 Lava Skylight

'Okay, let's go to the North Pole of the Moon and have a look. I don't know what the moon's north pole looks like. Just know some superficial knowledge about the north pole of the moon. Zhao Zhongyao said again.

‘Then dad, can you tell me about the north pole of the moon first! Even if you don't know much. But definitely know more than I do. You'd better tell me something about the North Pole of the Moon first! ’ Feifei still wants to learn about the North Pole of the Moon first. In this way, after a while, when he arrives at the North Pole of the Moon, he will have a general idea of ​​the North Pole of the Moon.

'Oh well! Let me tell you a little more about the North Pole of the Moon! ’ After Zhao Zhongyao heard what his son said, he began to talk about the North Pole of the Moon.

'Recently, on the earth, the Research Institute for Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Mars Research Institute. Using images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, some mysterious large craters were discovered near the lunar north pole, which are called "new skylights" leading to the interior of the moon. Its size can even accommodate an entire city, and scientists generally believe that the appearance of these super caves will be crucial for future lunar exploration.

These skylights on the Moon are actually giant cavities, the remains of ancient lava tubes on the lunar surface. Although the lava inside is gone today, scientists believe that at the ends of these lava tubes, there are a huge number of tunnels and caves intersecting with each other. Studies have shown that some of them are large enough to contain the size of a Beijing city, leading to the interior of the moon, and may even contain a sea of ​​​​ice at the ice-rich poles.

Since scientists believe that the moon's poles are relatively rich in ice, and the interior of the skylight is far away from cosmic ray radiation, these caves are potential ideal detection sites for future humans and are crucial for future exploration.

In the past year, Europe and my country have also shown considerable interest in this. For the moon, which is already inhabited by humans, this discovery is undoubtedly exciting and timely. In addition to the charm of ice itself, it is also a resource worthy of attention for astronauts.

Researchers have previously found as many as 200 known "skylights" near the moon's equator, but this is the first time a "new skylight" has been found in the lunar north pole. The new skylights are located in Philolaos Crater, which is said to be 550 kilometers from the Moon's North Pole. This location is on the side facing the earth, as if a deep eye is staring at us, constantly locking on the earth.

Such a moment peeps through the skylight of the earth, and at the same time attracts the eyes of the earthlings. Now many scientists on earth want to know what kind of magical things are in this skylight at the north pole of the moon. Looked at his son and said these things about the mysterious skylight at the north pole of the moon.

Feifei was very happy when he heard what his father said. After all, he is a boy who also wants to explore outside. Now that they are on the moon. He just wants to travel and explore some magical places on the surface of the moon. Want to learn more about the moon.

Just now I heard my dad talk about the new skylight at the North Pole of the moon, so he wants to know more about the moon skylight. So, Feifei looked at Dad again and said, 'Dad, are there many skylights on the moon! Can you tell me again, are there some special skylights in other places? ’ After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said again, ‘There are many skylights on the moon. Not only does the North Pole have such a huge skylight, there are also many skylights near the moon's equator.

And recently, scientists have discovered huge volcanic lava holes on the moon. Scientists believe that the lava caves on the moon reach a width of 5 kilometers, which is expected to build a human underground living base in the future. Scientists have recently discovered a giant cave on the moon. Scientists discovered a large amount of data returned by the probe Luna, and discovered the Marius hills near the lunar equator, and found a peculiar echo image, whose pattern suggested the existence of an underground cavity. Japanese scientists have also discovered what appears to be a hole - the Marius crater is thought to sit on top of the cave, like a luxury skylight.

In fact, what they discovered is just the tip of the ice sand, and behind it lies a much larger cave system-it is estimated to extend 60 kilometers from east to west, with a width and height of at least 1 kilometer, located about several kilometers on the surface of the moon. Ten to several hundred meters below.

This cave has a huge space and can also play a natural role in protecting against meteorite impacts, cosmic rays and solar wind, so it is an excellent base for humans to build a lunar base in the future.

In addition, although the side facing away from the earth is often called the "dark side of the moon", during the moon's revolution, no matter whether it is the front or the back, the moon can be illuminated by sunlight. In fact, because of the solar eclipse, the back of the moon gets more sunlight than the front of the moon. However, because the Earth also reflects sunlight to the Moon, the front side of the Moon is brighter than the back side.

The north pole of the moon can also receive sunlight. Scientists speculate that some peaks at the two poles of the moon can even be under the sunlight all year round, and there is almost no night. These areas are called "Yongri Peak". Because these areas can receive solar energy all year round, and can maintain a relatively stable temperature, "Eternal Day Peak" is very beneficial to space exploration and space immigration. However, the peak of eternal day on the moon is not absolutely "permanent day", because sunlight may be blocked by the earth during a lunar eclipse. This period can last for several hours, but lunar eclipses do not happen often. In contrast, the area that is rarely exposed to sunlight throughout the year is called "Yongye Pit", and the altitude of Yongye Pit is often relatively low. Yongye Pit is also a suitable location for space exploration and space immigration, because water ice is likely to exist in these areas.

"Yongday Peak" and "Yongye Pit", both exist on celestial bodies with relatively low inclination angles, such as Mercury and the moon.

A mountain peak in the Peary impact crater at the lunar north pole can receive sunlight for 89 hours throughout the year, and this is also the area currently determined to receive the longest sunlight throughout the year at the lunar north pole. There are more than 40 impact craters containing water ice in the north pole of the moon. It is estimated that the north pole of the moon contains at least 600 million tons of water ice. Sufficient light and water ice resources can provide great convenience for future manned activities on the moon, and it is one of the candidate locations for countries to establish lunar bases.

The north pole of the moon is also a very magical place. The north pole of the moon, like the south pole, has many impact craters. And it is also very likely that there is ice material present.

Why there are so many impact craters on the south pole of the moon is mainly because the two poles of the moon are the two poles of the moon's magnetic poles, and the gravity here is stronger than that near the moon's equator. Therefore, if an asteroid flies towards the moon, it must easily hit the two poles of the moon.

This is the same as on Earth. The place where the earth has suffered the most impacts from asteroids is also the two poles of the earth. '

Zhao Zhongyao told his son about the skylight on the moon, and he became very curious. Want to go to the north pole of the moon to see that famous big skylight.

'Dad, what are we waiting for, let's go and see the big skylight at the north pole of the moon! ’ Feifei said again.

'Okay, let's go to the big skylight at the north pole of the moon first! After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he drove the spacecraft to the north pole of the moon.

This newly discovered skylight is located in the Philolaus crater, 550 kilometers from the center of the lunar north pole.

According to the Earth Search Institute for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, they have found traces of some lava tubes in the Philolaus crater at the lunar north pole. In the ancient times of the Moon, hot magma fell through them to the lunar surface, where water appeared.

These things are indeed lava tubes, but the structure, material and location properties of these things suggest so. If we were to build a base there, we would not only have water there, but a beautiful view of Earth.

The Moon was formed from the collision of a protoplasmic body with an Earth-Earth "embryo". For the first million years after its formation, the Moon was a fiery ball of semi-liquid magma that constantly erupted on its surface.

The atmosphere is composed of extremely "abnormal" impurities of metal vapor and other substances with temperatures reaching 1700 degrees. Volcanic eruptions on Earth often lead to the formation of special tunnels that release lava from within - so-called lava tubes. After the volcano was filled, these lava tubes formed beautiful caves and grottoes.

Lava tubes on Mars and other planets are considered ideal today for bases and colonies to be established. There are two simple reasons why huge water resources can be stored in them; their lava tube wall layer will protect the people on the space station from cosmic rays and other forms of radiation hazards.

Zhao Zhongyao is now driving the spacecraft to the Philolaus volcano at the north pole of the moon. Although they are now at the south pole of the moon, they are still more than 5,000 kilometers away from the north pole of the moon. But these more than 5,000 kilometers are nothing to the amazingly fast flying saucer spacecraft.

Zhao Zhongyao flew to the north pole of the moon in only 20 minutes while driving the flying saucer spacecraft. Because the new skylight is not at the center of the lunar north pole. Zhao Zhongyao then drove the flying saucer to the Philolaus volcano, which was far from the center.

Soon flew to this Firolaus volcano, which is 550 kilometers away from the center of the lunar north pole. This is a very tall volcano, which is unusually abrupt in the north pole of the moon.

This Philolaos volcano is also a crater. However, this crater was not formed by an asteroid impact. It was formed by the outward heat ejection from the early interior of the moon.

At the beginning of its formation, that is, 3.8 billion years ago, the moon suffered an unprecedented impact event. The cause of this incident is still unclear. But we can be sure that the moon suffered a very serious asteroid impact 3.8 billion years ago.

At the same time, the earth also suffered a large number of asteroid impact events. It can be said that the moon and the earth were in the process of formation and development at the beginning. The development process of the two is very similar.

After all, the earth and the moon belong to the earth-moon system. As long as there is a massive asteroid impact event. That will not only happen to the moon, but it will definitely happen to the earth as well. This is because the moon is very close to the earth, only 380,000 kilometers. This distance is not worth mentioning in the universe. Even compared with the distance between the earth and other planets, it seems very close.

Because of this, when the moon is being hit by a large number of asteroids, the earth is of course not immune. It's just that the consequences of this major impact event are different. Because of this impact event, the earth has undergone earth-shaking changes, and then embarked on a bright path of reproduction and life.

At this time, the moon was hit by an asteroid, and eventually became a lifeless satellite.

At that time, the earth and the moon were not formed in the space system for a long time. Earth is the same as Mars. At the beginning, the internal activities of the two planets were very intense, and there were continuous volcanic eruptions on the surface. This point is similar to the current Venus.

But at this moment, one day suddenly, both the earth and the moon were baptized by an asteroid. These asteroids are now detected and should be some small comets. And these small comets are likely to be a comet with a large mass. When it entered the inner circle of the solar system from the outer periphery of the sun, it was disintegrated by the intense heat of the sun when it approached the sun. This one huge comet has turned into many small comets. Of course, there may be many comets flying together.

Near the sun, and let the high temperature of the sun disintegrate together.

But no matter what, 3.8 billion years ago, the moon and the earth, which had just formed in the solar system for a short time, were both baptized by asteroids.

It's just that after the earth received the baptism of this asteroid, it embarked on a bright road to breed life. And because the moon suffered the baptism of this asteroid, it became a satellite that could not breed life.

Because the moon was seriously injured in this asteroid impact. Because the moon is much smaller than the earth. In this impact event, the moon can be said to have suffered internal injuries. The entire lunar surface was riddled with holes. And the high-temperature lava in the moon has now added endless energy. As a result, these high-temperature lavas were ejected from the surface of the moon. Soon the surface of the moon began a strong volcanic eruption. A large amount of high-temperature lava was ejected from the interior of the moon.

Originally, these lavas could spread all over the moon. But because the moon is tidally locked to the earth. The lower side of the moon will be torn apart by the strong gravitational pull of the earth. As a result, most of the lava flows near the surface of the moon flowed to the front of the moon under the action of the earth's gravity.
