It is known that our satellite was formed as a result of the collision of the Earth with a huge object the size of Mars. But it is not known exactly how the Moon formed — it was previously thought that in a few months or even years.
The new simulation shows a completely different theory — the moon could have formed just a few hours after the collision. This assumption partly explains the inclination of the Moon’s orbit, too thin crust and very similar to the Earth’s isotopic composition.
