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.

Those two canyons—named Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck—are significant clues to that turbulent time in the Moon’s past. And, they’re impressive.

Asteroid impact created two Grand Canyon-sized lunar canyons in under 10 minutes. The impact released energy 130 times that of current global nuclear arsenals. These findings are significant for ...
