One of the most dramatic events in the history of our solar system may have happened much faster than we thought. According to a new study, our moon could have formed almost entirely in just five hours after a massive collision about 4.5 billion years ago. For decades, the accepted explanation was that an ancient Mars-sized body called Theia crashed into the young Earth. The impact hurled vast amounts of molten rock into space, creating a debris…
The origin of the moon has received a new explanation: a satellite could have formed 5 hours after a cosmic collision, a study by the Southwest Institute showed.

The Moon May Have Formed in Just Five Hours, New Study Suggests
For decades, scientists have believed that the Moon formed after a planetary body called Theia collided with the young Earth roughly 4.5 billion years ago. The enormous impact blasted material into space, creating a disk of hot rock and debris that eventually came together to form Earth’s natural satellite. But a new study suggests that […]
