New Study Challenges Moon’s Origins, Proposes Capture from Binary System

A recent study from Penn State University challenges the long-held giant impact hypothesis of the Moon’s formation, proposing instead that the Moon may have been captured from a binary system of celestial bodies. This groundbreaking research, led by Professor Darren Williams, highlights the Moon’s orbital alignment as evidence for this new theory, opening up possibilities for understanding the origins of other moons and planetary systems in our solar system.
