Description
Illustration depicting the birth of the moon. A mars-sized object impacted the earth approximately 4.5 million years ago (top row, at left). The impact propelled a shower of debris into space from the object and Earth (top row at right). The Earth's rotation sped up from the impact and tilted the Earths orbital plane (middle row). Earth re-formed as a molten body, and the Moon aggregated from the debris (bottom row).
