Researchers: Asteroid cut canyons into moon 3.8 billion years ago
New research shows that when an asteroid slammed into the moon billions of years ago, it carved out a pair of grand canyons on the lunar far side.
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,
Flagstaff scientist explains how the Moon got two Grand Canyons
The far side of the Moon has its own versions of the Grand Canyon—two of them, in fact! A new study explains how these deep canyons formed very quickly during an asteroid impact. KNAU’s Melissa Sevigny spoke with local planetary scientist David Kring about the findings.
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.
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
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.
Asteroid impact on moon blasted two grand canyons in 10 minutes - study
WASHINGTON - 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.
Scientists discover an asteroid created a pair of grand canyons on the moon
A view from orbit, looking straight down at the Moon’s surface, where an ancient asteroid strike carved out a pair of grand canyons on the moon. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — New research shows that when an asteroid slammed into the moon billions of years ago, it carved out a pair of grand canyons on the lunar far side.
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.
Two of the Moon's Grand Canyons Were Formed in Just Ten Violent Minutes, New Study Suggests
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 around two miles deep,
Massive lunar canyons formed within minutes, most likely due to asteroid strike
Two canyons on the far side of the moon, each as large as Earth's Grand Canyon, formed within less than 10 minutes, most likely due to a massive impact there 3.8bn years ago. The object and its work are the subjects of scientific speculation in the journal Nature Communications.
