How Planet Theia Collided With Earth And Created The Moon. For those who wondered how the Moon formed, NASA scientists have proposed the giant impact hypothesis. The giant impact hypothesis proposes that 4.5 billion years ago, Planet Theia collided with Planet Earth. The impact between Theia and Earth shot material into space, which led to the creation of the Moon. While there is no physical proof that the giant impact hypothesis ever occurred, geologists discovered massive "rocks" 1800 miles beneath the surface, right in the core. These "rocks" were called Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces, and are being studied, as possible remains of Planet Theia. Watch this awesome video on how Planet Theia collided with Earth, the Giant Impact Hypothesis, and the discovery of the Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces.
