Lava tubes are essentially caves through which lava used to flow under the lunar surface. Here on Earth, we have lava tubes that are studied by researchers in order to understand them on other worlds. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has seen pits on the surface of the Moon that look like they could lead to a network of lava tubes. These caverns have been protected from the space environment and could be an ideal place to conduct science. Watch to learn more! Video Credit: NASA 360 This se

When 2,000°F (1,093°C) lava is poured onto a frozen lake, it triggers a dramatic and violent thermal reaction driven by the extreme contrast in temperature. As the lava contacts the icy surface, the intense heat instantly melts the top layer of ice, forming a thin sheet of water. This water then flashes into steam almost instantaneously due to the lava’s extreme heat, causing explosive bursts of pressure known as phreatic explosions. These steam-driven eruptions can violently eject fragments of
