Unveiling Lunar Origins
Theia is a hypothesized ancient planetary body that played a crucial role in the formation of Earth's Moon. According to the Giant Impact Hypothesis, Theia collided with the early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago.
This massive impact ejected debris into Earth's orbit, which eventually coalesced to form the Moon.
Theia is believed to have been roughly the size of Mars, and its collision not only shaped Earth's satellite but also influenced the planet's tilt and evolution.
