Asteroid collision carved 2 massive 'grand canyons'

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 minutes
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.
