Moon

The first atlas of lunar pits was published in 2021, and a number of catalogues have been published beginning in 2014.

Mars

seven putative cave entrances have been identified in satellite imagery of the planet Mars, all so far located on the flanks of Arsia Mons. A more recent photograph of one of the features shows sunlight illuminating a side wall, suggesting that it may simply be a vertical pit rather than an entrance to a larger underground space.
