AA: "What do you think this is?" Me, very confidently: "The moon!" AA: "These giant dark circles..." Me: "oh."

kinda grim how we have part of Theia's mangled corpse constantly circling us, still covered in the planetary equivalent of bloodstains

Earth’s gravity pooled all the liquid onto one side. That’s got to be why right?

Could the Earth’s gravity have pulled on the lava like the moon pulls on our oceans? Could that be why the side facing us had these massive lava basins?

Jimi 🔺️ :
since the moon is tidally locked with earth, wouldnt the magma have pooled towards the side facing the earth? hence the darker bits in the one side?

Denzeldaledge :
not don't why just this side? the earth's tides are controlled by the moon, the earth has larger gravity so would pull liquid magma towards it. surely it's that simple

How sure are they? That there was a volcano? And billion years ago? Or just a hypothesis?

moon never hit the earth 🌎 it was like all moons out there they travelled with the plants and got caught by gravity do the numbers if it hit earth at speed earth would have been move way out into spa

always love remembering how volatile the universe is, so intense to think that a hard reset of planet Earth could literally happen any time

I like when scientists talk about a hypothesis like it's established fact. look, I think the earth and moon come from a collision too. but let's stick to the facts, we really don't know

what about the gravitational pull of the earth pulling the lava this side like the moon does with the sea

Well if the moon pulls out oceans do we pull the moons lava pools?
