Harvard Scientists Predict Moon Creature from the Earth

World Wide Web | Harvard Scientists Predict Moon Creature from the Earth | A new theory proposed by Harvard scientists concluded that the moon was once part of the Earth as rotating off after a collision with other celestial bodies.

In a report published Wednesday by the journal Science, Sarah Steward and Matija Cuk said that their theory would explain why the Earth and the Moon have the composition and similar chemicals.

It spins very quickly when the Moon formed, and a day lasts only 2-3 hours.

With the Earth's rotation is very fast, the devastating impact that occurs catapult Earth's enough material to form the Moon, according to the description published by scientists such as Harvard website. http://www.fas.harvard.edu/ ~ planets / sstewart / Moon.html

According to the new theory, the Earth's rotation as it is then achieved through gravitational interactions between the Sun and the orbit in the Earth's orbit the Moon.

The scientists realized that their theory is different from the present theory layman to understand, is that the Moon was created by a giant loose material that had crashed into the Earth.

Stewart is a professor of earth and planetary sciences at Harvard, while Cuk, an astronomer at the SETI Institute and investigators - research supporting the search of extraterrestrial life. Cuk was doing post-doctoral research at Harvard.
