A new simulation by NASA and Durham University proposes a fresh theory about the Moon’s formation. According to this research, the Moon may have formed within hours when debris from Earth and a Mars-sized body was ejected directly into orbit following a massive collision. These simulations are among the most advanced of their kind, running at the highest resolution ever used to study the Moon’s origins or other large-scale impacts.
