Did Earth Create the Moon? Research Uncovers Clues About Lunar Formation
Recent findings from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute challenge previous theories about the moon's formation. The study reveals that the moon was largely created from material ejected from Earth's mantle, not from the protoplanet Theia. Additionally, it offers new perspectives on the origin of water on Earth, suggesting tha...
