Moon [SEP] Formation
The prevailing hypothesis is that the Earth–Moon system formed after a giant impact of a Mars-sized body (named "Theia") with the proto-Earth. The impact blasted material into Earth's orbit and then the material accreted and formed the Moon. The Moon's far side has a crust that is thicker than that of the near side. This is thought to be because the Moon fused from two different bodies.
