Vallis Schrödinger extends 168 miles (270 km) northwest of the Schrödinger Basin and reaches up to 12 miles (20 km) in width. Vallis Planck extends 174 miles (280 km) due north from the basin ...

Vallis Schrödinger is 168 miles (270 kilometers) long and 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers) deep, and Vallis Planck is 174 miles (280 kilometers) long and 2.2 miles (3.5 kilometers) deep.

It didn’t take long for the moon to get its grand canyons. Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck are two long channels near the lunar south pole. The canyons, each more than 160 miles long and ...

Scientists analyzed the lunar canyons, named Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, to find that these huge valleys measure 167 miles long (270 kilometers) and nearly 1.7 miles (2.7 km) deep, and ...

The two channels, Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, extend in straight lines from the 320-kilometer-wide Schrödinger basin marking the initial impact.

And unlike the Grand Canyon, carved over millions of years by the flow of the Colorado River, Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck formed in just minutes after a 15-mile-wide meteor struck the ...

The two canyons, called Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, are located on the far side of the moon, so they can only be seen from orbit—not from Earth. Each canyon is over 165 miles long and ...

Vallis Schrödinger is 168 miles (270 kilometers) long and 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers) deep, and Vallis Planck is 174 miles (280 kilometers) long and 2.2 miles (3.5 kilometers) deep.

Scientists say Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck—dramatic trenches near the lunar south pole—were carved in a blast that unleashed 130 times the amount of energy in Earth's global nuclear ...

Even though these particular lunar craters aren't visible from your backyard, Kring says there are similar, but smaller canyons on the near side of the moon that's visible in the night sky. These ...
