Sign up for CNN’s Wonder Theory science newsletter for news on fascinating new discoveries in the universe. Learn about how two massive canyons on the far side of the moon, each comparable in size to Earth’s Grand Canyon, formed 3.8 billion years ago in less than 10 minutes. The Schrödinger impact basin, where the canyons are located, offers insights into early solar system conditions and asteroids bombarding planets and moons. Future missions, like Team Draper’s lunar lander, are set to explore the basin for unique rock samples. The spectacular lunar landscapes offer clues to the moon’s mysterious origins and history.
