NASA Shows Giant Debris Cloud Formed by Collision of Celestial Bodies
Most rocky planets and satellites, including our Earth and the Moon, are formed or shaped by massive collisions among celestial bodies early in the solar system. When these objects smash together, they could either accumulate more material and increase their size or they can break apart into multiple smaller bodies.
