Scientists proposed a novel idea on Wednesday that could solve two of the world's mysteries at onceโone that passes over our heads every night, and one that sits far below our feet.
The first mystery has puzzled everyone from scientists to inquisitive children for millennia: where did the moon come from?
The leading theory is that the moon was created 4.5 billion years ago when a would-be planet the size of Mars smashed into the still-forming Earth.
This epic collision between early Earth and the proto-planet called Theia shot an enormous amount of debris into orbit, which formed what would become the moon.
Or so the theory goes. Despite decades of effort, scientists have not been able to find any evidence of Theia's existence.
New US-led research, published in the journalย Nature, suggests they might have been looking in the wrong direction.
Around 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) below Earth's surface, two massive "blobs" have baffled geologists since seismic waves revealed their existence in the 1980s.

The Most Detailed Images of the Moon ever (2023)
Photographer Darya Kawa stacked (133,000) frames and 147GB worth of data to achieve this. I've been working on this project since 4 days ago. This image takes up to 22 hours of editing and stacking since the amount of data was so massive.
Kawa took almost a quarter million frames (231,000) and i spend unimaginable amount of work over the course of 3 weeks to process and stack all the data which was equivalent to 313 GB.

Context: I have a theory, and i want to see if im right. for simplicity, its just the big three + the 'other' option. Apologies for no vanilla extract, i want actual data this time lol.
remember to reblog for a higher sample size!
