Description
Fission formation of the Moon. Illustration of three stages (from left to right) in the fission theory of the formation of the Moon. This theory states that the Moon formed from material thrown away from an early Earth. Current theory rejects this and states that the Moon formed following an impact event soon after the Earth formed. For a series of illustrations of moon formation theories, see images C047/7687 to C047/7698.
