Astrophysicists have solved the mystery of the origin of the moon

Астрофизики разгадали тайну происхождения ЛуныTo such conclusion in their new study, astrophysicists John Wade and Bernard wood.

American astrophysicists John Wade and Bernard wood conducted a study, which confirmed the hypothesis of the shock formation of the moon.

Scientists had calculated using computer simulation, study the soil samples taken on the surface of the moon. It professionals had earlier found water. Long time period to explain the presence of this fluid in the samples of lunar rocks was not possible. It was assumed that water had to go into a gaseous state and escape from the satellite of our planet immediately after his appearance.

The theory of impact formation of the moon suggests that the moon was formed by a massive collision of the planet with some major cosmic body. The mass of the body accounted for almost a quarter of the mass of the Earth. The only logical gap in this hypothesis was the presence of water. However, new scientific studies have confirmed the fact that high temperatures do not become an obstacle to the process of dissolution of hydrogen in the magma disk, from which later formed the Moon.

At the beginning of the birth of the satellite of our planet, the hydrogen or the water in dissolved form inside the magma. Gradually these substances have hardened and turned into crystals, and later in the surface rocks of the moon, they found modern scientists.
