The moon appeared suddenly, but it is not clear how, studies show
Almost every year scientists have a new theory of the origin of the moon. However, despite this, most researchers agree that the hypothetical planet Theia collided with the Earth 4.5 billion years ago, the breakaway fragment of which turned into the main satellite of our planet.
Now, without departing from the generally accepted theory, scientists have revised it, finding obvious inconsistencies in it. A new study indicates that the collision with the hypothetical Theia may have had nothing to do with the formation of the moon. The study is published in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
In the course of computer simulations, the researchers proposed an alternative theory regarding the appearance of a natural satellite of the Earth.
Simulations by researchers at Durham University’s Institute for Computational Cosmology suggest that the Earth’s collision with Theia 4.5 billion years ago may not have been the cause of the Moon’s formation.
Previous simulations have shown that a collision with a Mars-sized celestial object has resulted in a large amount of debris being trapped in Earth’s orbit. It was believed that over time this ring of debris slowly coalesced into one large mass, our moon.
However, when considering the geological composition of the Moon’s surface, scientists questioned this model. Lunar rocks delivered by the Apollo mission have an isotopic composition similar to that of the Earth’s mantle.
Simulations of the Theia impact suggest that an impact of this nature would have resulted in most of the debris coming from Theia rather than Earth. According to this model, the appearance of the Moon, which has the same isotopic composition as the Earth, contradicts the above theory.
Through computer simulations, the research team ran hundreds of different exposure scenarios. By varying the angle, speed, masses, and rotations of the two objects, they were able to observe which scenarios most closely match history, and concluded that its instantaneous formation was the result of a giant impact.
“This opens up an entirely new range of possible starting points for the evolution of the moon,” the team of researchers said.
This theory implies a completely different internal structure of our Moon and may prompt new studies of the internal processes of our planet’s satellite.
Is the moon older than the Earth?
Earlier, scientists from Germany came to the conclusion that the moon arose 50 million years after the formation of the solar system. They also established that our main satellite is even older than the Earth itself.
The researchers analyzed the amount of tungsten and hafnium isotopes in the lunar soil brought back by the Apollo mission. It is known that the decay of hafnium into tungsten lasted 70 million years from the beginning of the origin of the solar system.
Thanks to this, it was possible to establish that the rocks containing these isotopes cooled down much earlier.
That is, if we consider the appearance of a natural satellite of the Earth, taking into account this hypothesis, then even more questions arise regarding the formation of our planet and the entire solar system.
Renowned ufologist and virtual archaeologist Scott Waring is back in
the spotlight with his latest discovery: mysterious structures on the
surface of the Moon.
In photographs of the Moon obtained by the American space agency NASA, he discovered something that raises many questions.
Waring’s
discovery became the subject of discussion among lovers of the
mysteries of space. The ufologist said that the photograph was published
by NASA just a few days ago, and immediately after that he began a
detailed analysis of it.
According to Waring, the photograph shows
structures that could not have formed naturally. These unusual objects
could have been built by extraterrestrial civilizations, the researcher
believes.
However,
the most surprising thing is that, according to Waring, NASA is not
even trying to hide this information. Skeptics argue that if evidence of
alien intervention was actually found on the Moon, the agency would try
to hide such facts.
However, Waring believes that the agency is
deliberately disclosing this information to generate public interest and
attention to aliens.
The researcher also calls on NASA to provide
more details about the origin of these mysterious structures and
conduct more research.
When we think of UFO crashes, the first thing that comes to mind is
the famous Roswell incident of 1947, when a mysterious object crashed on
a ranch in New Mexico, sparking decades of speculation and controversy.
But
what if Roswell was not the first, nor the only, UFO crash on Earth?
What if there was an earlier and more obscure case that involved a
fascist dictator, a secret department, and a possible cover-up by the US
military?
That is the intriguing story of the 1933 UFO crash in
Italy, which has recently resurfaced thanks to new allegations and
evidence from researchers and former intelligence officials.
According to these sources, a bell-shaped flying saucer crashed near Magenta, a town west of Milan, on June 13, 1933.
The
craft was reportedly recovered by the Italian authorities and taken to a
nearby airfield, where it was examined by a team of experts led by none
other than Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of radio.

Little is
known about the first “UFO” case in Italy: the fascist regime
immediately secreted the story. It was Roberto Pinotti, founder and
secretary of the National UFO Center, who tried to dissolve the mist of
mystery that surrounds the case.
At the “Ufology” conference,
which was held near Lake Maggiore, in Arona, he explained that “the
remains of the UFO, which in the drawings is described as a cylindrical
aircraft, with a bottleneck at the end, with portholes on the side, from
which white and red lights came out, were taken to the Siai-Marchetti
warehouses in Vergiate, where they remained for 12 years.
The
bodies of the pilots, preserved in formalin, were studied for a long
time. It is known that they were 1.80 tall, had light hair, and
oriental-looking blue eyes.

It
is therefore understandable why Mussolini thought they were German
pilots, despite the authoritative contrary opinion of Marconi himself.
The
hypothesis advanced by Pinotti could also redefine the history of the
pre-war period: “The Duce believed, perhaps, that it would be
appropriate to ally himself with a military power like that of Nazi
Germany, capable of producing an aircraft never seen before, rather than
having her as an enemy.”
The craft itself was said to be made of
an unknown metal that was resistant to heat and corrosion, and had a
complex propulsion system and electromagnetic fields.
The Italian
dictator Benito Mussolini, who was fascinated by the phenomenon, ordered
the creation of a secret department called “Gabinetto RS/33” (or RS/33
Cabinet) to study the saucer and its technology. The department was
headed by Marconi and included scientists, engineers, and military
officers. Their goal was to reverse-engineer the alien craft and use it
for military purposes.
However,
their plans were thwarted by the end of World War II, when Italy was
invaded by the Allied forces. According to some accounts, the American
troops seized the saucer and its remains and shipped them to the US,
where they became part of a covert program that collected and studied
multiple “non-human” flying saucers.
This program was allegedly
overseen by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), a highly secretive
intelligence agency that operates spy satellites.
The existence
of this program was recently revealed by David Grusch, a former NRO
officer who claims to have firsthand knowledge of it. Grusch says that
he has seen documents and photos that prove that the US government has
obtained several alien crafts over the years, including the one from
Italy in 1933. He also says that he has spoken to other former
intelligence officers who were part of the program and confirmed his
story.
The 1933 UFO crash in Italy may be one of the oldest and
most forgotten cases in UAP history, but it may also be one of the most
important ones. It may hold clues to the origin and purpose of these
mysterious visitors, as well as their impact on human history and
technology.
