The formation of the moon
Apr 19, 2022, 8:35 PM
|
|
4,500,000,000 years ago, about 95 million years following the formation of the solar system with the accretion of the protoplanetary disk, the young, molten, volcanic Earth was struck by the planet Theia, roughly the size of Mars. A catastrophic event, a massive explosion, collision of worlds, blew each other into pieces. The strewn about heavy elements of each’s core coalesced again, and with gravity the lighter elements were drawn in until the current Earth and moon had their shape and fate.

though Dunham's facemask was implanted into his ribcage... it probably had to be surgically removed.

I agree, but this is crossing the line of lunge etiquette.

once I realized we were having chicken vegetable soup Mrs No made, so I didn't need to think about supper plans. At that point, my thoughts went directly to questioning the formation of the moon.

And her horse dragged it across the sky?
Didn't her brother Helios do something similar with the sun?
What is this accretion you speak of? ??
