Recent research indicates that Earth's mantle contains two large blobs, remnants of Theia, the ancient planet whose collision with Earth led to the moon's creation. This discovery offers fresh insights into the moon's formation and Earth's early history. In the 1980s, geophysicists made a startli

The moon, located some 239,000 miles from Earth, is a curious, cratered world. Here are facts about the moon you didn't know.
