Scientists say Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck—dramatic trenches near the lunar south pole—were carved in a blast that unleashed 130 times the amount of energy in Earth's global nuclear ...

Vallis Schrödinger extends 168 miles (270 km) northwest of the Schrödinger Basin and reaches up to 12 miles (20 km) in width. Vallis Planck extends 174 miles (280 km) due north from the basin ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researches have determined that ejecta from an ancient asteroid. strike carved out the grand canyons (Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck) in less than 10 minutes.

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 ...

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 lunar canyons Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck are extraordinarily deep, and scientists now know the valleys were carved by bullet-fast moon rocks.
