Vallis Schrödinger
Encyclopedia : V : VA : VAL : Vallis Schrödinger
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.
The valley is shaped like a long groove in the lunar surface. It begins at the outer of ejecta surrounding Schrödinger and contines to the north-northwest until it crosses the rim of Moulton crater. About mid-way along its length it crosses the Sikorsky crater, and is overlaid in tunr by the small 'Sikorsky Q' satellite crater.
The selenographic coordinates of this feature are , and it lies within a diameter of 310 km. It varies in width from 8-10 km. The valley was named after the Schrödinger crater, which is named for Erwin Schrödinger.
