Asteroid, Moon and grand canyon

Asteroid impact on moon blasted two grand canyons in 10 seconds
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.
