The moon: A chunk ejected from Earth?
SMRTR summary
New measurements suggest the Moon formed primarily from Earth's mantle material, with minimal contribution from the protoplanet Theia. The findings also support the idea that Earth's water arrived early in its development, potentially from enstatite chondrites, rather than through later impacts. This research challenges previous theories about lunar formation and Earth's water origins.
