@outerspacefiles: How Earth Got Its Moon 🌕 (real simulation) 4.5 billion years ago, a Mars-sized planet called Theia slammed into the young Earth. 💥🌍 Supercomputer simulations suggest the Moon may have formed from the debris in just a few hours, not over months or years. 🌕 Our simulation: 40,680 particles, gravity + collisions, same starting idea as the NASA Ames / Durham study. Source: Kegerreis et al. 2022, "Immediate Origin of the Moon as a Post-impact Satellite", The Astrophysical Journal Letters 937, L40.

We’re lucky it hit, prolly what keeps our magnetic field active vs the other rocky planets🤔🤓

I kinda feel like the moon was put there to watch over human development.. the size, the distance…

Why are living circumstances so perfect for us right now? Or is it because we haven’t lived long enough to see to any doomsday scenarios yet??

I remember reading alot of stories from ancient times when there was no "moon" ..then all of a sudden one night it just showed up that was the stories I read. it's funny how everyone has different stories about the moon and not prove a damn thing!! just fairy tales! 🤣💯

I understand this is a visualization designed for a screen, but I wonder how different the Theia impact would have needed to be for the Moon to be ejected much farther from Earth than what is shown here

Nope, not even close. Nowhere in the scripture book of Genesis record the creation of Earth and moon; anything like that.

Why not just say thea approached earth and was captured by its gravity...humans must always be dramatic 🤣🤣🤣 smashing into earth sounds more exciting!
