The Birth of the Moon
A Cosmic Impact Theory
Computer simulations show that mantle material from Theia, a proto-planet theorized to have struck the Earth 4.5 billion years ago, could have formed the Moon. This giant-impact hypothesis suggests that Theia, about the size of Mars, collided with the early Earth, creating a cloud of debris that eventually coalesced into our satellite.
A Unique Celestial Body
The Moon is the Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest in the Solar System. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing our planet's axis and creating tides. Its formation process remains a topic of scientific fascination and ongoing research.
