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.

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.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — 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.

The two gorges carved by asteroid debris are roughly the size of the Grand Canyon in Arizona (which took roughly five to six million years to form), with Vallis Schrödinger at 168 miles (270 ...

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 ...
