A new supercomputer simulation based on known data about Earth, the Moon and the hypothetical planet Theia has revealed a shocking piece of Earth's history.
Scientists say the mysterious mass of material found deep in the Earth's core is the remains of an ancient planet that collided with Earth billions of years ago.
How the moon was formed is a question that scientists have been searching for answers for centuries.
The tragedy Theia-sized planet Theia hit the earth a few billion years ago, repeated in another solar system.
Scientists have found evidence that the big Theia planet event with Mars plunges into the earth, begins life and creates the Moon is real.
