Scientists from the Durham University and University of Glasgow worked together in developing simulations using supercomputers that may explain how the Moon may have formed after a collision between ...

The moon is thought to be the aftermath of a giant impact. According to a new theory, there were two giant impacts in a row, separated by about one million years, involving a Mars-sized 'Theia' and ...

Astronomers have long suspected that the Moon formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago when a hefty planet-in-the-making called Theia collided with a young Earth. Now, researchers have found evidence that ...
