Vallis Planck is a long, linear valley located on the far side of the Moon. It is oriented radially to the huge Schrödinger basin, and was most likely formed by that impact. The selenographic coordinates of this feature are , and it has a length of 451 km.

10 hours ago · Lunar geologists have always known that the two canyons featured in the new study, called Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, were particularly large. The research team behind the latest report, however, was able to analyze images of the massive geological features using photos and elevation data captured by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance ...

1 day ago · Two giant lunar valleys, Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, formed in less than 10 minutes, researchers say. Rocky debris ejected by an asteroid or comet impact 3.81 billion years ago ...

1 day ago · 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 ...

1 day ago · The deepest portion of Vallis Planck is ~280 km long, ~27 km wide, and ~3.5 km deep, but a ray of secondary craters extends beyond the continuous ejecta blanket to a length of 860 km. For ...

1 day ago · Vallis Planck extends 174 miles (280 km) due north from the basin and spans up to 17 miles (27 km). Schrödinger Basin itself is 200 miles (320 km) across and possesses a fascinating 93-mile-wide ...
