The vast valleys of Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck demonstrate the incredible forces that shaped the face of the Moon.

Lunar geologists have always known that the two canyons featured in the new study, called Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, were particularly large.

The canyons studied, Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, are comparable to the Earth's Grand Canyon in size.

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, might have been formed in a stunningly ...

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.

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.

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

Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck measure 168 miles (270 km) and 174 miles (280 km) long respectively. On average Vallis Plank is almost a kilometre deeper than the Grand Canyon, as shown in ...

One of these canyons, Vallis Schrödinger, is about 167 miles long while the deepest portion of another called Vallis Planck is about 173 miles long. Meanwhile, the Grand Canyon boasts a length of 277 ...
