radius < 100m ?

From the photo, which shows a 100m line at bottom, it would appear the radius is far less than 100m, more like 30m ? 2600:1700:543D:8410:380F:9772:697B:D249 (talk) 17:25, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

The rim of the skylight overhangs the material supporting the pit 'roof', so the width of the pit overall versus that of the opening will differ. The Cosmos magazine article quotes "The conduit [...] is between 30–80 metres (98–262 ft) long, about 45 metres (148 ft) wide, and about 130–170 metres (430–560 ft) below the Moon’s surface."
