The moon was once part of the Earth – scientists

Earth’s satellite may have formed about 4.5 billion years ago as a result of a collision of our planet with a Mars-sized object.

Geophysicists from the University of Zurich have found new evidence that the Moon could be part of the Earth. This was reported by Science Alert.

In particular, the new hypothesis suggests that the Moon was formed from material that was barely formed by Earth as a result of a powerful collision with a planet the size of Mars, about 4.5 billion years ago. These fragments combined and formed our satellite.

To test a new version of the formation of the moon, experts using a mass spectrometer studied the chemical composition of six lunar meteorites extracted from the ice of Antarctica.

As a result of the analysis, it was found that the isotopes of the noble gases – helium and neon – in the lunar meteorites match the isotopes found in the solar wind, which has never been affected by it. This, along with the characteristic concentration of argon isotopes, supports the theory that these elements were inherited from Earth.

It was previously reported that an unknown rocket, which NASA has been tracking in Earth’s orbit since 2015, crashed on the moon.
