Get ready for a lunar plot twist! New theories on moon formation are shaking up what we thought we knew. One theory suggests a giant impact scenario, where a Mars-sized object collided with Earth, and the moon formed from the debris. Another wild idea proposes that Earth actually had multiple moonlets that merged into the singular moon we know today. Some scientists are even entertaining the notion that the moon was once part of a 'double planet' system with Earth. It's like the moon's origin story is a cosmic mystery novel with each theory adding a new plot twist. Buckle up, because the moon's past is more intriguing than we ever imagined!
