===On other celestial bodies=== In 1963, NASA astronomer [[Winifred Cameron]] proposed that the lunar equivalent of terrestrial pyroclastic flows may have formed sinuous [[rille]]s on the [[Moon]]. In a lunar volcanic eruption, a pyroclastic cloud would follow local relief, resulting in an often sinuous track. The Moon's [[Schroter's Valley|Schröter's Valley]] offers one example.<ref> {{cite journal | last1 = Cameron | first1 = W.
