The moon formed a hundred million years after the creation of thesolar system. This has left scientists wondering what was the cause of our planet's satellite to birth if it didn't come from the events that for
about 100 km in diameter, is formed over the rim of a so-called ghost crater.(Image credit: NASA/The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington/Smithsonian Institution)
4. What were the previous theories on how Moon’s crust was formed? Previous theories said that colliding asteroids and comets were a purely destructive process.

The most common eruption types are: Plinian Eruptions: These awesome eruptions can inflict serious damage on nearby areas -- the eruption that buried Pompeii and Herculaneam was a Plinian ...
"those who believe in the Nebular Theory consider it as certain that our Earth derived its solid matter and its atmosphere from a ring thrown from the Solar atmosphere, which afterwards contracted into a solid terraqueous sphere, from which the Moon was thrown off by the same process... [Und...

A society called the L5 Society was formed more than 20 years ago to push the idea of placing space stations in orbit at these points. As we learn more from our experiences on the ISS, we may build larger and better space stations that would enable us to live and work in space, and...
This “tired light” explanation was rejected as it could not explain many observations. Article content The redshift of light is similar to the Doppler effect on sound: noises appear to have higher frequency (pitch) when approaching, and lower when receding. Redshift, a low...
