Moon Formed In Five Hours After Theia Hit Earth | WION Podcast

New simulations suggest the Moon may have formed in just five hours after the planet Theia slammed into Earth around four point five billion years ago. Researchers from the Southwest Research Institute and the University of Arizona found that planetary temperature and rock strength may have played a major role in how quickly an intact Moon emerged from the debris. The study, published in Astrophysical Journal Letters, challenges older models that treated Earth and Theia as fluid bodies alone. Scientists say the findings could sharpen our understanding of when the impact happened and why Earth and the Moon share similar composition. Watch this episode to see how a faster Moon forming process could reshape the story of our cosmic origins.
