Forming moon may have taken three big impacts early in Earth’s history Conventionally, the moon is thought to have formed during one big impact, but a three-impact model might make more sense

Was the Moon-Forming Protoplanet 'Theia' a Neighbor of Earth? Theia crashed into earth and formed the moon, the theory goes. But then where did Theia come from? The lead author on a new study says

How did Jupiter's Galilean moons form? Scientists explore moon formation theories We already know a decent amount about how planets form, but moon formation is another process entirely, and one we're not as familiar with. Scientists think they understand how the most important moon in our solar system (our own) formed, but its violent birth is not the norm, and can't explain larger moon systems like the Galilean moons around Jupiter. A new book chapter, also released as a preprint paper on arXiv, by Yuhito Shibaike and Yann Alibert from the University of Bern, discusses the differing ideas surrounding the formation of large moon systems, especially the Galileans, and how we might someday be able to differentiate them.

Moons aren't born like our own! 🤯 New research explores the wild origins of Jupiter's giant moons & how we might unravel their mysteries. ✨ #moonformation

ALMA image of the exoplanet PDS 70c and its surrounding disk, the first ever observed moon-forming disk around an exoplanet. The image shows a bright ring of dust and gas surrounding the star PDS 70, with a smaller, fuzzy disk around the planet PDS 70c, indicating the formation of moons.  The disk around PDS 70c is believed to be capable of forming several Luna-sized moons.

Striking Evidence of Water Imbalance on The Moon Hints at a Collision The water distribution inside the Moon appears to be somewhat lopsided.

New analysis of lunar samples from the Moon's far side reveals significantly less water than the near side, supporting the theory that a massive collision shaped the Moon's asymmetry.

Close-up grayscale image of the Moon's surface, revealing numerous impact craters of varying sizes. This detailed view supports the giant-impact theory of the Moon's origin, suggesting its formation from debris resulting from a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized body billions of years ago.  The image highlights the Moon's heavily cratered landscape, a testament to its early history in the solar system.

ALMA image reveals a never-before-seen dusty disk around exoplanet PDS 70c, hinting at the formation of moons. This Jupiter-sized planet, part of the PDS 70 system, is surrounded by a disk with a radius similar to Earth's orbit around the sun, potentially forming 3 Luna-sized moons.  This groundbreaking discovery was made using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile.
