But even more mind-boggling is to contemplate the forces that created the Grand Canyon-sized gouges of Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck on the Moon — in roughly 10 minutes.

Two giant canyons on the Moon were created in less than ten minutes, ... Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, are comparable ...

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 ...

The two channels, Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, extend in straight lines from the 320-kilometer-wide Schrödinger basin marking the initial impact. Until now, the circumstances of the ...

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 ...

Two Grand Canyon-size features on the far side of the moon were likely formed in about 10 minutes after an unknown ... (2.7 kilometers) deep, and Vallis Planck is 174 miles (280 kilometers) long ...

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.

Scientists analyzed the lunar canyons, named Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, to find that these huge valleys measure 167 miles long (270 kilometers) and nearly 1.7 miles (2.7 km) deep, and ...

Kring and fellow authors Danielle Kallenborn and Gareth Collins compared the size of the moon's grand canyons to North America’s Grand Canyon. One of these canyons, Vallis Schrödinger, is about 167 ...

The findings could impact NASA's upcoming Artemis missions to the far side of the Moon. ... long, and ~2.7 kilometers (~1.7 miles) deep, whereas Vallis Planck is ~280 kilometers (~174 miles ...
