A mysterious tube so large and deep that it can shelter a future moon base (http://gizmodo.com/tag/moonbase/). Until the creatures inside kill everyone, which is what happens in these cases.
According to a study published in Geophysical Research Letters, the "hole is like a skylight, a vertical cave 213 feet (65 meters) across and some 262 to 289 feet deep (80-88 meters)." They believe it is a collapsed lava tube, which may provide ideal shelter for a future moon base.
I'm reading their report and only two things come to my mind. One, the awesome lunar base in Stanley Kubrick's 2001. Two, a sci-fi horror movie flick directed by Roger Corman, in which the moon base is invaded by slimy aliens, pissed off because the humans built their base on top of the entrance of their hidden colony. Based on real events, of course.
OK, maybe I have three things in mind, because now I have Sybil Danning there too, as the queen in Amazon Women on the Moon. No hole connection there, however. Or maybe there is. Oh, whatever. Leave me alone. I'm drunk.
