Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows the Marius Hills region of our own Moon. This classic Lunar Orbiter 2 image (with an insert courtesy of the current Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) shows this fascinating region of the Moon, home of signs of volcanic activity (volcanic domes). Further examination appears to have discovered what appears to be a "skylight" (hole) into a lava tube. Could this be utilized for a future base or colony on the Moon?
