Moon, Grand Canyon

A meteorite carved two valleys as deep as the Grand Canyon on the Moon in just 10 minutes
The gigantic cataclysm, which released energy 130 times more powerful than the detonation of the entire world’s atomic arsenal, will facilitate the research of astronauts scheduled for a lunar landing
Moon Grand Canyon carved out in less than 10 minutes by bullet-fast space rocks
Two gorges on the Moon that are deeper than the Grand Canyon were carved out in less than 10 minutes by space rocks travelling at the speed of a bullet, astronomers have revealed.
How an Asteroid Hit the Moon and Made Two 'Grand Canyons'
Two immense canyons on the moon's far side that rival Earth's Grand Canyon were produced by a cataclysmic collision nearly four billion years ago, according to new research published on Tuesday. According to the findings,
Asteroid impact on moon blasted two grand canyons in 10 seconds
The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of Earth's natural wonders, carved out over millions of years by the gradual erosion power of the Colorado River. Close to the moon's south pole are two canyons each comparable in size to the Grand Canyon that were born in a much different process.
Two giant valleys on the Moon, each the size of the Grand Canyon, formed in 10 minutes: study
Projectiles flying faster than bullets from a blast 130 times bigger than the global nuclear stockpile helped form giant lunar canyons, according to a new study.
How an ancient asteroid strike carved out 2 grand canyons on the moon
New research shows that when an asteroid slammed into the moon billions of years ago, it carved out a pair of grand canyons on the lunar far side. That's good news for scientists and NASA, which is looking to land astronauts at the south pole on the near,
The Moon’s epic ‘grand canyons’ were gouged out in 10 minutes by an asteroid strike
The vast valleys of Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck demonstrate the incredible forces that shaped the face of the Moon.
'Grand Canyons' of the moon took just 10 minutes to carve - study
They were dug out by debris sent violently aloft when an asteroid or comet struck the lunar surface 3.8 billion years ago.
Asteroid impact on moon blasted two grand canyons in 10 minutes
New research indicates that these canyons, in an area called the Schrödinger impact basin on the side of the moon perpetually facing away from Earth, were dug out in a matter of less than 10 minutes by rocky debris sent violently aloft when an asteroid or comet struck the lunar surface roughly 3.8 billion years ago.
How a Prehistoric Asteroid Strike Carved Out 2 Grand Canyons on The Moon
Research reveals that an asteroid collision billions of years ago created a pair of grand canyons on the far side of the moon. U.S. and British scientists utilized photos and data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to trace the debris path that formed the canyons 3.
Bullet-fast moon rocks carved 2 lunar gorges deeper than the Grand Canyon
The lunar canyons Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck are extraordinarily deep, and scientists now know the valleys were carved by bullet-fast moon rocks.
