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

A supercomputer simulation has provided new evidence that continent-sized chunks of Theia, which helped create the moon, may still survive in the boundary between our planet's mantle and the core.

When the young Earth and a Mars-sized body collided 4.5 billion years ago, it left behind dense mantle rock that survives to today, a study finds.

The remnants of an ancient planet that collided with Earth to form the Moon lie deep within the earth, according to a new model from Caltech researchers and collaborators.

On a clear night, with a decent amateur telescope, Saturn and its series of remarkable rings can be seen from Earth’s surface. But how did those rings come to

Lars von Trier’s 2011 existential sci-fi tale Melancholia (streaming now on Peacock) follows a small group of people celebrating a wedding during the Earth’s final days. A previously unknown planet, the titular Melancholia, hovers ever larger in the sky on a collision course with Earth. While it is a movie about the literal end of the world, it’s also a not so thinly veiled metaphor for depression and the desire for destruction that sometimes comes with it. In the real world...
