Maybe solar storms? The Sun sends out quite a lot of radiation from time to time. Earth is protected by its magnetic field and atmosphere, the Moon and Mars not so much.
- yeukhon 9y agoAm I incorrect without an active lava core, the magnetic field is basically non-existient? Then Moon tunnel is probably not good enough for humans to remain healthy.
- wongarsu 9y agoRock is pretty good at shielding from electromagnetic radiation. It obviously depends on how deep you are, but any shielding beats no shielding.
- newsbinator 9y agoAlso water serves as very good shielding. Anybody living in caves in the moon would naturally need an ample water supply (a "closet" full of water containers), which could double as an emergency radiation shelter.
