Turns out, the Moon’s not just a pretty face—it’s the aftermath of a cosmic smash-up! Scientists just figured out that the object (Theia) that crashed into Earth and created the Moon was a mini-planet from our own solar neighborhood, probably even closer to the sun than us. By analyzing moon rocks and isotopes, they pieced together this wild ancient drama. Without that lucky collision, we might not even have seasons or stable climates. Space is messy, but wow, it’s fascinating! #Science #MoonMystery #SpaceScience
