Uncover the Moon's hidden secrets! A University of Kent student, Daniel Le Corre, has harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover two previously undiscovered possible cave entrances on the Moon. But here's where it gets controversial... How might these discoveries shape our understanding of lunar exploration and human survival in space? And this is the part most people miss... The AI model, named Essa, was trained to scan publicly available NASA images and identify pits based on their distinctive shape. The model's name is a nod to the Cornish name of Mr. Le Corre's hometown, Saltash, and the entrances to sub-surface areas. The discovery of these pits could be a game-changer for future space missions. The university believes these pits may be connected to underground cave networks that could provide natural shelter from harmful radiation and micrometeorite impacts, as well as harbor water ice. This makes them of interest to scientists as potential bases for humans exploring or living on the Moon, and hopefully one day even Mars. So, what do you think? Do you agree with the university's findings? Or do you have a different interpretation? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
