Grand Canyon, Moon and Asteroid

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,
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.

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.
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.
