Valleys on the Moon Valleys on the Moon The Moon's surface is covered in many interesting features. Among these are several large valleys that have been given names. These are listed below. ...more on Wikipedia about "List of valleys on the Moon"
Vallis Alpes ( latin for"Alpine Valley") is a spectacular lunar valley feature that bisects the Montes Alpes range. It extends 166 km from the Mare Imbrium basin, trending east-northeast to the edge of the Mare Frigoris. The valley is narrow at both ends and widens to a maximum width of about 10 km along the middle stretch. The selenographic coordinates of this feature are . ...more on Wikipedia about "Vallis Alpes"
Vallis Bohr is a valley on the Moon stretching due south of Einstein crater. This wide cleft has a length of about 80 kilometers, and is radial to the Mare Orientale impact basin further to the south. The selenographic coordinates of this feature are . ...more on Wikipedia about "Vallis Bohr"
Vallis Planck is a long, linear valley located on the far side of the Moon. It is oriented radially to the huge Schrödinger basin, and was most likely formed by that impact. The selenographic coordinates of this feature are , and it has a length of 451 km. ...more on Wikipedia about "Vallis Planck"
Vallis Rheita is a linear valley on the near side of the Earth's moon. It is located in the southeastern quadrant, and is oriented radially to Mare Nectaris. This valley appears to share a common origin with the Vallis Snellius to the northeast, as both are oriented radially with Mare Nectaris. ...more on Wikipedia about "Vallis Rheita"
Vallis Schrödinger ( latin for "Schrödinger Valley") is a long, nearly linear valley that lies on the far side of the Moon. It is oriented radially to the huge Schrödinger basin and most likely was formed during the original impact that created Schrödinger. ...more on Wikipedia about "Vallis Schrödinger"
Vallis Schröteri is a sinuous valley on the surface of the Moon. It is located on a rise of continental ground, sometimes called the Aristarchus plateau, that is surrounded by the Oceanus Procellarum to the south and west and the Mare Imbrium to the northwest. At the southern edge of this rise are the craters Aristarchus and Herodotus. ...more on Wikipedia about "Vallis Schröteri"
Vallis Snellius is a linear valley on the near side of the Moon. It is located in the rugged southeastern part of the visible surface, to the south of the Mare Fecunditatis. This feature is radial to the Mare Nectaris basin to the west-northwest, much like Vallis Rheita to the southwest, and the two likely share a common origin. The selenographic coordinates of this feature are , and it has a maximum diameter of 592 km, making it the longest named valley on the Moon. ...more on Wikipedia about "Vallis Snellius"
