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.

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.

A canyon is a deep, narrow valley with steep sides. Here on Earth, canyons are typically formed by long-term erosion from rivers or tectonic activity. But on the moon, where there’s no ...

The extraordinary formations, each comparable in size to Earth’s Grand Canyon, are hidden on the far side of the moon — the side that always faces away from Earth — near the lunar south pole ...

The Grand Canyon in Arizona got carved by water over millions of years of slow but steady erosion. Two similarly-sized canyons on the moon got carved by flying rocks in about 10 minutes.

The Grand Canyon in Arizona got carved by water over millions of years of slow but steady erosion. Two similarly-sized canyons on the moon got carved by flying rocks in about ten minutes. That's ...

A violent origin story Schrödinger’s location on the southern farside of the Moon hides the basin and its lunar grand canyons from terrestrial eyes, but interest in the region is ramping up. At ...

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 ...

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 ...

The extraordinary formations, each comparable in size to Earth’s Grand Canyon, are hidden on the far side of the moon — the side that always faces away from Earth — near the lunar south pole ...

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 ...
