The Mars Odyssey spacecraft has recently discovered seven entrances to possible caves on a martian volcano. People are now wondering if there could be "underground habitats" in these caves. These caves are almost circular and range in diameter from about 328 to 820 feet. Researchers found the caves and then used the Mars Odyssey's infrared camera to check temperatures in the day and night, and from these temperatures scientists concluded that they could be openings into underground spaces. The caves were found on one of Mars tallest volcano's Arsia Mons. Next time I am on mars I know where I am staying the night, In one of these caves duh.
