Giant chamber on the moon discovered, perfect for a future base
The Indian Space Research Organization has discovered a massive underground chamber near the moon's equator, one that would be perfect for housing a moon base. A moon base!
Discovered by the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, this chamber is more than one mile long and 393 feet wide. There would be lots of benefits of building a moon base in there, mainly for protection from the nastiness of the surface of the moon. It'd provide a nearly constant temperature of -4 degrees Fahrenheit, unlike the surface, which fluctuates between 266 degrees and -292 degrees. And it would provide protection from radiation, micro-meteor impacts and dust.
So, what's the holdup? Let's get building! I want to visit a hotel in a moon base sometime in the next 20 years, please!

well, it's got to be art added to the photo. but I haven't tracked it back to the Indian space agency.

Why did they also add a shadow to the line? Seems weird.
Also, I have a hunch that this hole is unaffiliated with the cave in the story. Here's another link:
