Classic Moon-formation simulations typically produced a ring of debris that assembled over months or years after a Mars-sized world struck early Earth. But simulations published in September 2026 that included temperature-dependent rock strength found that, under certain conditions, a coherent Moon-sized satellite could emerge in roughly five hours.
1+ day, 28+ min ago (1286+ words) A September 2026 impact study found that strength retained by hot, partly solid rock can redirect Theia’s rebound and capture a coherent satellite within hours.

New simulations suggest the moon formed just 5 hours after Earth slammed into protoplanet Theia
1+ day, 10+ hour ago (552+ words) Earth's moon may have formed far faster than scientists once believed, with new simulations suggesting it came together in as little as five hours after a catastrophic collision. That unexpectedly short timeline could reshape researchers' understanding of one of the…...

The Moon may have formed intact just hours after a giant collision
3+ day, 14+ hour ago (781+ words) Scientists have discovered that the Moon-forming collision may have depended heavily on how hot and physically strong early Earth and Theia were. New simulations found that some impacts create the familiar disk of debris that later becomes the Moon, while…...
