    "Mooning" A new theory

    about how our giant lunar orbiter was "mooned" and became what we see above us each day..

    ANALYSIS | New computer simulation shows a titanic collision could have formed our moon in hours | CBC Radio

    Bob McDonald's blog: Researchers at NASA and in the UK developed the highest resolution simulation of the collision between a hypothetical rogue planet dubbed Theia and a primitive Earth that is the best explanation they have for how the Moon was formed.

    But there's no crack in it?

      Perhaps earlier on in its life, but it was patched up with green cheese?

        That theory has been around for quite a while.
        Makes you wonder how something is decided to be news all of a sudden.
        Last I heard the IAU have decided that our companion is not a moon and we are a binary planet system.
        Well good luck with getting people to change what they call it.
        Shortly before 5am UT on the 8th December the Moon will occult Mars.
        Not everyday you get to see a planet set on the moon. See you there.
        Check local times and so forth, the angles will be different for you foreigners

          The Moon moves away from us 1mm a year. So, blink your eyes a few 100 billion times, and it will look a little smaller.

            More like 4 cm.

                No way, he's devolving into him. Some of these Billionaires have to be kept in check, they have no allegiance to any country, or even humanity, if it comes down to it.
