Two of Moon's Grand Canyons Were Created in Just 10 Minutes Due to a Powerful Impact 3.8 Billion Years Ago, Claim Researchers
Two of Moon's Grand Canyons Were Created in Just 10 Minutes Due to a Powerful Impact 3.8 Billion Years Ago, Claim Researchers Moon aficionados now have another detail in their kitty about the precious satellite.
Two Grand Canyon-size valleys on the far side of the moon formed within 10 minutes, scientists say
Two Grand Canyon-size features on the far side of the moon were likely formed in about 10 minutes after an unknown object slammed into the moon 3.8 billion years ago.
The moon's grand canyons were carved in the blink of an eye
The Earth's Grand Canyon took millions of years to carve, but the moon's grand canyons took about ten minutes.
Two of the Moon's Grand Canyons Were Formed in Just Ten Violent Minutes, New Study Suggests
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 around two miles deep,
Flagstaff scientist explains how the Moon got two Grand Canyons
The far side of the Moon has its own versions of the Grand Canyon—two of them, in fact! A new study explains how these deep canyons formed very quickly during an asteroid impact. KNAU’s Melissa Sevigny spoke with local planetary scientist David Kring about the findings.
Grand Canyons on the Moon Were Made in a Matter of Minutes
Scientists proposed an explanation for the formation of Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck near the lunar south pole, which are each about the size of Earth’s Grand Canyon.
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.
Massive lunar canyons formed within minutes, most likely due to asteroid strike
Two canyons on the far side of the moon, each as large as Earth's Grand Canyon, formed within less than 10 minutes, most likely due to a massive impact there 3.8bn years ago. The object and its work are the subjects of scientific speculation in the journal Nature Communications.
Asteroid impact carved massive canyons on the moon in minutes
Scientists found that an asteroid impact carved two massive canyons on the moon in minutes. High-speed debris helped shape the trenches.

The lunar Grand Canyon: Our moon has two gigantic basins that were carved out in just 10 MINUTES (despite being even bigger than the one in Arizona!)
The research shows that lunar canyons the size of Earth’s Grand Canyon can form in minutes rather than millions of years. Impact-generated streams of rock on the Moon are far more capable of ...
