PING!................
Which causes global warming right?
So, it’s the titanium the Chinese are after?
So, the Earth-Moon system, without which the conditions for life would not exist, is even more unique than previously thought...
Earth 2nd? (Not “erf first?!”)
“A new study of metal ore deep inside the moon is offering fresh evidence that Earth’s natural satellite was formed by an ancient planet crashing into Earth long ago.
This long-theorized interplanetary collision — which scientists believe occurred some 4.5 billion years ago — saw a Mars-sized planet named ‘Theia’ slice itself into hot lava fragments upon impact with the Earth.”
Not a new concept. Nibru and Tiamat.
The Sumerians were right and Zecharia Sitchin interpreted their accounts correctly:
Nibiru and the Cosmic Collision
“According to Sumerian accounts (or Sitchin’s if you prefer) Nibiru—once a wandering planet—was ultimately caught by the gravity of our newly formed solar system roughly four billion years ago. Around that time, planet Earth (referred to by the Sumerians as Tiamat) was a larger, watery planet that revolved around the Sun in an orbit farther out in the solar system, between Mars and Jupiter.
During one of the early crossings of Nibiru, a moon orbiting Nibiru collided with Tiamat. That collision was said to have not only broken Tiamat in two pieces, but ultimately pushed the fractured planet, with what was left to become its moon, into a new orbit around the Sun. In its brand new orbit, Tiamat became the Earth and the Moon we know today. Sitchin further noted that if the debris left behind by the cosmic collision was not absorbed by the exoplanets, it was either scattered in the vacuum of space or became the Asteroid Belt.
A farfetched hypothesis, many will say. Is it though? Is it possible that Sitchin’s original story on Nibiru was solely based on scientific speculations from his own time, or as he claimed he found a message in the Sumerian scripts, one that the mainstream academia chose to ignore because of its “fantastic” content? Let’s not ignore that the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians similarly mentioned of this renegade planet which, according to them, devastates Earth every time it passes by. If so, can this planet be accountable for the Earth’s alleged cosmic collision, and can such an event be supported scientifically?”
Looks like it is...
i’m only here for the comets.
If the collision happened 4.5 billion years ago, how do they know the planet was named ‘Theia’?

deposits of titanium-iron ore deep beneath the moon’s surface

except they aren’t “deposits” ...
I thought we already knew this?
I remember reading about this as a possibility over 65 years ago. An book showed several scenarios on how the moon was possibly formed.
Interesting cartoons, look like they came from a lava lamp encounter. About all the credibility this has is that it could have happened that way. Maybe, possibly, perhaps.
Earth First !!! We’ll Strip Mine The Other Planets Later.

She seems to be the same figure as Aethra, who is the consort of Hyperion and mother of his children in some accounts
Aethra - sounds curiously like Earth, with the same letters, just an extra ‘a.’
Looking at etymology of the word earth, no mention of Aethra. A ton of other stuff that doesn’t make sense, but no Aethra.
Accretion is galactic, universal
