Michael Flores+FollowMoon’s Wild Origin Story Just Got JuicierTurns 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 #SpaceScience13Share
Michael Flores+FollowMoon Rock’s Secret: Older Than the Moon?!Scientists just cracked open a moon rock that’s been sealed since the ‘70s, and get this—inside they found sulfur that might be even older than the Moon itself! The wild part? This ancient dust could be leftovers from a planet-sized collision that created the Moon, or it could have formed when the Moon was just a molten ball. Either way, it’s rewriting what we thought we knew about our cosmic neighbor. Mind = blown. #Science #MoonMystery #SpaceDiscovery20Share
