The Moon’s Chaotic Origin

Our Moon has experts tied up in conflicting theories! Scientists believed that our Moon was created 4.5 billion years ago. Just like how different materials clumped together to form planets, experts believe the Moon had the same origin. However, two recent studies have shed new light on the natural satellite’s origins. One study claims that multiple collisions birthed the orbiting rock, while another claims the Moon is younger than scientists had previously believed. Learn more about the two theories here!
