Lunar Canyons Formed by Asteroid Impact, Impacting Artemis Mission
A recent study reveals that the Moon's Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck canyons, far deeper than the Grand Canyon, formed within ten minutes due to an asteroid or comet impact 3.8 billion years ago, creating the 320km Schrödinger crater near the lunar South Pole; this impacts Artemis mission pla...

Rapid Formation of Massive Lunar Canyons Due to Meteorite Impact
A meteorite impact 3.81 billion years ago created two massive lunar canyons, Vallis Planck (280km long, 3.5km deep) and Vallis Schrödinger (2.7km deep), within 5-15 minutes, significantly faster than terrestrial canyon formation, as detailed in a Nature Communications study using data from multiple ...

New Study Suggests Moon Formed 180 Million Years Earlier
A new study posits the Moon formed 180 million years earlier than previously estimated, between 4.430 and 4.530 billion years ago, due to a global melting event caused by tidal heating after the impact with Theia, which reset the crystallization process and erased early impact traces.

Rapid Formation of Giant Lunar Canyons by Meteorite Impact
A study in Nature Communications reveals two enormous canyons on the Moon, Vallis Planck and Vallis Schrödinger, formed within minutes from a 3.81 billion-year-old meteorite impact (Schrödinger crater), unlike Earth's Grand Canyon; this discovery is significant for the Artemis mission.
