Vídeo de la simulación por supercomputadora del origen de la Luna (by NASA)

Vía Mixx.io os muestro un vídeo de la NASA titulado "New Supercomputer Simulation Sheds Light on Moon’s Origin"

Se trata de un análisis de supercomputadora muestra una nueva hipótesis para la Luna. Es un estudio más profundo sobre la idea de un impacto entre Tierra y Theia, pero que tiene como resultado la formación de la Luna en tan solo unas horas y NO años. 

New Supercomputer Simulation Sheds Light on Moon’s Origin



A new NASA and Durham University simulation puts forth a different theory of the Moon’s origin – the Moon may have formed in a matter of hours, when material from the Earth and a Mars sized-body were launched directly into orbit after the impact. The simulations used in this research are some of the most detailed of their kind, operating at the highest resolution of any simulation run to study the Moon’s origins or other giant impacts.
