Earth could have lost anywhere between ten and 60 per cent of its atmosphere in the collision that is thought to have formed the Moon. New research led by Durham University, UK, shows how the extent ...

step forward in the understanding of processes of collision at such scales. It plays an essential part in estimating the energy of the impact which should be necessary, depending on its size, to ...

Most theories claim the Moon formed out of the debris of a collision between the Earth and an object about the size of Mars, called Theia, coalescing in orbit over months or years. A new simulation ...

Scientists from the Durham University and University of Glasgow worked together in developing simulations using supercomputers that may explain how the Moon may have formed after a collision between ...

It’s difficult to predict with certainty what will happen when giant stars collide, but new, first-of-their-kind hydrodynamic simulations by the DEMOBLACK team at the University of Padova in Italy ...
