In a groundbreaking study, scientists have revisted the hypothesis surrounding the formation of the Moon and its connection to a proto-planet called Theia.
While prior theories focused on Theia�s collision with Earth, ejecting debris to create the Moon, a new international, interdisciplinary research effort reveals that Theia�s influence on the solar system may persist.
The study, published in the journal Nature, introduces the concept of Large Low-Velocity Provinces (LLVP)deep within the Earth�s mantle, potentially remnants of Theia.
The recently published study in the journal Nature provides significant novel insights, delving not just into the Earth�s internal structure but also shedding light on its long-term evolution and the formation of the inner solar system.
The prevailing theory of the Moon�s formation posited a giant impact around 4.5 billion years ago, with Earth colliding with Theia to create the moon from the resulting debris.
