A new simulation reveals an alternative explanation for the moon’s formation. The moon is thought to have formed following a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object, called Theia.

NASA has unveiled an ultra-realistic fake Moon environment that it will use to simulate activities on the lunar surface. The ...

Now, a stunning new simulation by researchers at Durham University opens up a strikingly different theory: the Moon may have formed in a much shorter time period — a matter of hours, not months ...

If human beings want to survive on the other planets for a long time, they must first find or set up a safe, stable, and long ...

Planetary scientists need to find an impact simulation that can not only match the moon’s chemistry, but also how far it was from the Earth and how fast it was initially spinning. Although scientists ...
