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,
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.
Ancient Asteroid Smashed Into The Moon Carving Out Grand Canyon-Sized Craters, Study Says
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.
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 has 2 Grand Canyons carved by an ancient asteroid strike
The incoming object created an impact basin and sent streams of rocks hurtling like missiles, NASA said. Within minutes, two canyons comparable in size to Arizona's Grand Canyon were formed.
