The collision of a ‘solid’ Theia with Earth’s liquid magma ejected mostly terrestrial material into space. That’s why the Moon is almost Earth’s twin in composition. The lunar isotope mystery was solved by a simple difference in viscosity.
🎯 That same impact likely tilted Earth’s axis, giving us the seasons. So we have spring and autumn to thank that ancient catastrophe for.
