The Moon's birth from a violent collision shaped Earth's tides, climate, and long-term evolution.
The Moon contains 60% of the Earth’s water in hidden, porous rocks, puzzling scientists for decades.
Moon rocks reveal samples formed at temperatures hotter than most lava flows on Earth, challenging simple collision myths.
The Moon’s orbit is gradually shrinking the Earth's day by about 2 milliseconds per century.
A giant impact likely stripped Earth so violently that the resulting debris reformed into a satellite with a surprising chemical balance.
