Researchers have unveiled new findings that reshape our understanding of the Moon's formation and Earth's early hydration.
Experience an epic magnetic collision where the Earth, made of magnetic balls, and the Moon are drawn into a super-powerful ...
For years, scientists have pondered the mysterious structures deep within the Earth. Research indicates that they are ...
The larger moons of Pluto and Earth likely formed through a collisional process with Charon and our moon, respectively, ...
A research team from the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) has discovered ...
A research team has discovered another piece in the puzzle of the formation of the Moon and water on Earth. The prevailing theory was that the Moon was the result of a collision between the early ...
Geophysicists find areas that resemble the results of tectonic plate collisions — far from any area of such activity.
Recent simulations link the creation of Pluto and its moon Charon to a colossal impact, akin to the Earth-Moon origin, ...
The world's largest iceberg looks set to collide with a group of remote islands in the southern Atlantic, risking the safety ...
Scientists have discovered a new type of planetary collision called “kiss-and-capture,” where Pluto and proto-Charon briefly connected and spun together before separating into their current orbital ...
Researchers from the University of Gottingen and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research have now revealed it could have formed from material ejected from the Earth's mantle.
The study suggests that the Moon likely formed largely from Earth's mantle material — with minimal involvement from Theia.
