Most theories declare the Moon shaped out of the particles of a collision between the Earth and an object in regards to the measurement of Mars, known as Theia, coalescing in orbit over months or years. A brand new simulation places forth a unique concept — the Moon might have shaped instantly, in a matter of hours, when materials from the Earth and Theia was launched straight into orbit after the impression.
