    Processes of water (OH and H2O) migration on the Moon remain unclear, prompting active research. Understanding lunar water migration requires investigation of the trapping and diffusion properties of water at various latitudes and local times. This study analyzed visible to near-infrared spectral data obtained by the Spectral Profiler (SP) onboard SELENE for shadowed regions at various local times and latitudes, not limited to the polar permanently shadowed regions. We assessed SP data for shadowed regions in 60 areas, each spanning a 10° × 10° latitude–longitude grid. Of the 1,061,907 analyzed shadowed-region data, 41,385 at various latitudes exhibited significant absorption in the 1.25 and 1.5 µm bands, indicating water ice particles. Data with the two absorption features suggest the presence of a water ice frost layer covering the lunar surface or suspended water ice particles above the lunar surface, at various latitude shadowed regions. Our spectral simulations have quantified the ice particles as being 0.1–1 µm in diameter, with a column density of 10–4–10–3 kg/m2. The spectral parameters for band absorption at the 1.5 µm band show symmetry between morning and evening sides, which is potentially attributed to the absence of variations in ice grain size and quantity. The 1.5 µm band absorption shows an increasing trend toward terminator regions, indicating variation in the water ice distribution and likely reflecting temperature conditions for water retention. The latitudinal trend of ice grain size and quantity remains uncertain because of the observed noise levels. Observations of water ice particles in shadowed regions at various latitudes and local times can provide new constraints on trapping and diffusion processes of lunar water migration.

    Vertical holes of several tens of meters in diameter and depth have been discovered on the Moon, potentially serving as skylights into subsurface volcanic caverns resembling lava tubes. Because of their scientific importance and potential for use as future lunar bases, these lunar holes and caverns are expected to be targets of intensive exploration in the near future. Using numerical simulations, this study investigates the light environment within a directly and/or indirectly sunlit subsurface cavern accessed through a skylight hole. We specifically analyze the Mare Tranquillitatis Hole (MTH), one of the largest lunar vertical holes, situated near the Moon's nearside meridian. The floor and walls of the hole, and the walls and ceiling of its associated subsurface cavern are lit by reflected sunlight from other parts of the hole and cavern, such as the floors, depending on the solar elevation angle. Furthermore, this paper presents estimation results for camera imaging for a case in which solar elevation angle is 45° in the morning, which is appropriate timing for exploration. Assuming reflectance of 0.1 for the lunar hole and cavern surfaces, we estimate the incident energy onto each pixel of a camera as it descends to the hole's floor. We specifically simulate conditions for a camera with a 12-bit dynamic range, similar to the wide-angle optical navigation camera (ONC-W) onboard the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft. The results suggest that a camera with a fixed gain would struggle to capture both directly and indirectly sunlit areas simultaneously, without saturating bright areas and ensuring minimum incident energy resolution (say, a 10 digital number) for darker areas. To overcome this challenge, adjusting the camera gain based on the hole's and cavern's illumination conditions is necessary. Graphical abstract: (Figure presented.)

    Lunar lava tubes, of which possible existence as tunnel-like structures has been anticipated, may serve as shelters for future exploratory missions and places for groundbreaking scientific research. One major issue in planning exploratory missions is the lack of realistic safety assessment. We introduce evident layering of lunar collapse pits walls to model their stability and applied a recently proposed probabilistic approach to account for their unknown shapes. We demonstrate a dominance of local collapses that do not reach the lunar surface for layered roofs. Our results suggest that pristine peleoregolith layers may be exposed inside lunar lava tubes due to the common occurrence of such local collapses, which can yield unique geological/astrophysical recordings from previous epochs. We demonstrate that multiple local collapses may also explain the observable geometries of lunar collapse pits, leading to improvement of the overall stability of the post-collapse lava tube configuration.
