with must-see piccy.
The picture of what looks like a round crater does not match the
description. "Discovered by the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, this
chamber is more than one mile long and 393 feet wide." That means
over 13 times as long as wide. Perhaps it was meant to say, "...
more than one mile in diameter and 393 feet deep. Not sure that
sounds right either.
The best place is probably on the poles, near the ice deposits.
It is natural to speculate such a structure formed as an sub-surface
ice deposit, which sublimated. A meteor impact then punched a hole
in the roof. If so, it is of interest just how big the chamber is
under the surface, and how stable the surface layer is.
The picture could be an illusion. More needed. Too bad no coordinates
or references were given.
