Grand Canyons on Moon Were Made in a Matter of Minutes

Two Grand Canyon-size valleys on the far side of the moon formed within 10 minutes, scientists say
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.
The moon's grand canyons were carved in the blink of an eye
The Earth's Grand Canyon took millions of years to carve, but the moon's grand canyons took about ten minutes.
Grand Canyons on the Moon Were Made in a Matter of Minutes
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.
How an Asteroid Hit the Moon and Made Two 'Grand Canyons'
Two immense canyons on the moon's far side that rival Earth's Grand Canyon were produced by a cataclysmic collision nearly four billion years ago, according to new research published on Tuesday. According to the findings,
Bullet-fast moon rocks carved 2 lunar gorges deeper than the Grand Canyon
Two gigantic canyons on the moon — both deeper than the Grand Canyon — were carved in less than 10 minutes by floods of rocks traveling as fast as bullets, a new study finds.
Asteroid impact on moon blasted two grand canyons in 10 minutes
The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of Earth's natural wonders, carved out over millions of years by the gradual erosion power of the Colorado River. Close to the moon's south pole are two canyons each comparable in size to the Grand Canyon that were born in a much different process.
The Moon’s epic ‘grand canyons’ were gouged out in 10 minutes by an asteroid strike
The vast valleys of Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck demonstrate the incredible forces that shaped the face of the Moon.
A meteorite carved two valleys as deep as the Grand Canyon on the Moon in just 10 minutes
The gigantic cataclysm, which released energy 130 times more powerful than the detonation of the entire world’s atomic arsenal, will facilitate the research of astronauts scheduled for a lunar landing
