The diameter of the pit's funnel was between 140 and 146 meters long while the diameter of the inner pit is 88–100 meters long. The pit's walls were visible down to a depth of about

The pit floor beneath its eastern side slopes downward at an angle between 10° and 20° to a depth of at least 135 meters. The rest of the floor directly below the pit opening is flat and covered with boulders, including two boulders of 8–10 meters in size situated at the south-western section of the

The researchers noted that the additional underground space connected to the pit could make it a potential host of a future lunar base due to the cave's protection from prologued exposure to the surface's environment, including from
