The Big Splash - Formation of the Moon

- This short film charts the story of the formation of Earth's single natural satellite - the Moon. The most widely accepted theory is that, shortly after it formed, the proto-Earth was struck at an oblique angle by another protoplanet, roughly the size of Mars. Astronomers call this interloper Theia. Debris from the impact was flung into space. Some of this escaped, but a lot of it remained and formed an orbiting ring of debris around the Earth. The material in this ring eventually coalesced, very quickly, to form our Moon. This is often known as the Giant impact Hypothesis.
Thanks to Jon Ramer, President of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA) for the narration.

Thanks for watching.
This short film deserves millions of views. Perfect explanation. Is this the most widely accepted view of how the moon was formed currently? Amazing to think we are here because of these spectacularly random events 👍
Thanks for getting in touch. Yes, this is the most widely accepted view. Similar events helped tip Uranus on its side, flip Venus 180 degrees, and denude Mercury of its crust, leaving it as little more than an oversized ball of iron.
Were it not the millionth time a video of the moon forming was posted, it would get a million views.

One of the best videos on this subject.
Thanks so much
Beautiful and informative. Great narration by Jon, too.
Glad you think so!
I’m a NASA scientist and I approve this Grandma best high-quality ever
As usual, absolutely excellent!
I thank you!
loved it.
I was reading about this and thought: has somebody done an animation of this clash? and there you are, exactly what i wanted to watch. thanks internet and Mark Garlick.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@spaceboffinthis is amazing dude
Ah man space is wonderful ❤
Thanks for the video!❤
Glad you like it!
So well made!!
Thank you!
Fascinating
Did you make this short film? This is fantastic!
I did. Many thanks.
@@spaceboffin wow, that must have been so much work, impressive!
@@willemvandebeek Months! So much time for 5 minutes! Thanks for your encouragement. It means a great deal.
AHHHHHH YAAAASSSS THANK YOU!!!
Hope you like it!
Like it? *I LOVED IT!!!*
Well you see, in the beginning, it was all darkness, and then an event known as the Big Splash Filled the seas and-
So cool 😎
thanks
Shoutout to the cameraman for going back in time to film this
love ur stuff bro
Cheers, Kevin
A solar eclipse literally every five hours!
The animator must've turned the strength of the Earth up in the simulation. Anyone who's posted around with these kind of sims knows that planetary collisions splash both planets.
i dont think life would exist on Earth if this didnt happen since we need plate tectonics and the moon is responsible for that
Possibly, but it's not a fact.
Anyone else also notices that theia looks like its orbiting earth in this simulation.
It was. Probably a hyperbolic orbit. All motions of bodies around others are orbits, but not all orbits are cyclical.
@@spaceboffin thanks for pointing that out but it looks more like a parabolic orbit
Spiraling in
Now we know that the moon could have been formed between hours, not years and months. 🙀🙀🙀
Nice work! Can I use 10 seconds of this clip on my CZcams video? I'm making an educational video on how our moon was formed and I'd like to use this shot.
If it's monetized, or used anywhere such as TV, I expect a fee. If not, please feel free but CREDIT ME and include a link to both the animation itself and to markgarlick.com. Also, please include a note that the work has been used with permission. Thanks. And let me know when it's done please.
Why did the ring around the Earth coalesce and the ring around Saturn did not?
Good question. The rings of Saturn lie within the planet's Roche limit. This is the region within which large bodies are torn apart by tidal forces. They can't coalesce.
Wow! That's so awesome. Subscription was a wise choice. Where did you get the voice? :)
Description, I'm sorry :D
Thanks for your comment. He's called Jon Ramer. He's the President of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA), and a personal friend. I am an elected Fellow of the IAAA.
@@spaceboffin That's really cool! I am a astronomy youtuber too and will produce a long space documentary propably within the next year, and I will produce all the music for it. Would you like to help out with a few scenes when the time comes?
If it's only for CZcams, not elsewhere, and the video will not be monetized, then yes. If it's monetized I'd expect a fair share. Thanks.
@@spaceboffin That's really great! If I'm monetized until then I'm going to share all the proceeds to the participants :)

2:49 has anybody noticed that there was a second big moon right infront of the moon?
wdym
@@Whatareyoudoinnhere no if you look closer right in front of the moon you can see a second one forming although its not spherical
That's just a lump of debris that hasn't been absorbed yet. Probably at this stage these chunks would all be gone but I put them in to add some texture.
@@spaceboffin yeah but that could’ve been a second moon there if it weren’t debris like saturns smaller moons (not including titan)
There could have been multiple proto moons that eventually coalesced into the single moon we have now.
We could've gotten rings but instead we got the moon
Луна в начале своего формирования довольно быстро вращалась, на симуляции этого нет. Впоследствии момент ее вращения был передан Земле, которая стала вращаться быстрее, а Луна замедлилась, синхронизировав один оборот вокруг оси с оборотом вокруг Земли, как сейчас. Это система с наименьшей энергией, примерно так же метрономы на шаткой поставке все качаются в такт.
Just think, there's an alternate Earth where Theia was captured and became the moon itself.
earths geology would likely be alot diffirent, and tidal waves would be much larger
Can I use the video in my classes? Due credit will be given, of course.
Thanks in advance
No problem, if used with credit as mentioned

The Hadean era is NOT named after the Greek god of hell.
It is named after Hades..which IS the Greek hell.
The Greek god of hell is Pluto.
I stand corrected. I knew this, but mistakes still get the better of me sometimes
petergibson2318 is right. It is good to learn.
Nope. Pluto is the Latin (Roman) incarnation of the Greek god Hades.
How on earth is there life on earth???
This was just after the Earth had more or less fully formed in size, well over four billion years ago. Life has had a lot of time, and indeed the presence of the Moon may well have given it a helping hand. Thanks for commenting.
Because we support the requirements
1 - We are in the habitable zone in the solar system
2 - We have normal Liquid Water which boosts the life a lot
3 - da moon which helped our Atmosphere being real
4 - We have habitable Green grass

I commented if it’s slow in real time.
Very slow in real life. It would have taken hours for the impactor to be destroyed. Then months for the formation of the moon. Maybe years.
So this impact caused earth to be the way it is today?
Yes, it affected its rotation and composition, and the Moon affects it is other ways.
where did the rings go...
sucked up by the moon
@@benjaminrickdonaldson no u sucka
Why only 77,000 people watched this amazing video ? They all so dumb these days, they watching Jerry Springer and Trump indictments instead? Ought to be millions of people viewing this 'formation of the moon' video, this is amazing stuff, thanks for putting it onto CZcams.
Thank you
I hear this music again
but what it's called
without this there would be no life on earth...
That's by no means certain, but definitely the Moon has influenced life.
nobody knows exactly. but you are right if this impact was created the atmosphere.
@@vahrumparsua2280 I think he meant by that if there was no moon there would be no tidal forces in the water which results in tsunamis climate change and probably massive extinction on sea animals without the sea 60% of earth's oxygen would not exist which will finally bring massive extinction on humans, except bacterias that doesnt need oxygen to live
Can universe sandbox look like dis plz
How and why does every astrological body form a perfect sphere when formed?
Gravity. When the mass of an object is large enough it will naturally form into a sphere but even then factors like spin slightly elongates a sphere like the earth which is more wide on the equator. Also objects with not enough mass to becomes spheres like mars's moons don't become one
@@zhongxina9420 Makes sense, with gravity pulling on all sides equally. Still, Deimos is how I imagine our moon should look.
No, because the Moon is much, much more massive.
4.5 Billion years ago Earth have Ring
Scientists come up with all that mumbo jumbo, but can't theorize why the rotation is elliptical?
Because nothing can be perfectly spherical
Isn't it big splat theory??
Yes, big splash
It wouldn't look like that and break into huge chunks like that
What happened to the roche limit theory in this case
The material is well outside the Roche limit, so it wasn't prevented from coalescing, unlike the rings of Saturn
What did you mean 90% of its current mass?! Did the earth gain from this collision?! Why the earth never shattered like theia did?!
parts of earth and theia shatered, specifically the outer layers. The cores of the two protoplanets merged. The outer layers clouded the earth and eventually they returned to our surface becoming part of the planet again.
Yes. Couldn't have put it better myself.
what’s the song?😮💨🔥
It's called Hang Ups (I Want You) by Otis McDonald. It's in the credits. :-)
This is no longer accurate as it turns out the formation of the moon was even cooler and took place in under a day it turns out.
This is from 4 years ago
وقد مضى في [ الحجر ] تسمية البروج والحمد لله . وقيل : إن الله تعالى خلق الشمس والقمر من نار ثم كسيا النور عند الطلوع ، فأما نور الشمس فمن نور العرش ، وأما نور القمر فمن نور الكرسي ، فذلك أصل الخلقة وهذه الكسوة . فأما الشمس فتركت كسوتها على حالها لتشعشع وتشرق ، وأما القمر فأمر الروح الأمين جناحه على وجهه فمحا ضوءه بسلطان الجناح ، وذلك أنه روح ، والروح سلطانه غالب على الأشياء . فبقي ذلك المحو على ما يراه الخلق ، ثم جعل في غلاف من ماء ، ثم جعل له مجرى ، فكل ليلة يبدو للخلق من ذلك الغلاف قمرا بمقدار ما يقمر لهم حتى ينتهي بدؤه ، ويراه الخلق بكماله واستدارته ، ثم لا يزال يعود إلى الغلاف كل ليلة شيء منه فينقص من الرؤية والإقمار بمقدار ما زاد في البدء ، ويبتدئ في النقصان من الناحية التي لا تراه الشمس ، وهي ناحية الغروب حتى يعود كالعرجون القديم ، وهو العذق المتقوس ليبسه ودقته .

Nice video, but why put this music on?
Why not?
@@spaceboffin It's nice effort, but too distracting for me, I'd rather hear the narrator's voice only.
I enjoyed the music, it wasn’t obnoxious and I could hear the narrator just fine…
@@VibratorDefibrilator Agreed👍🏻
"ops"
What music is used in this video
Read the end credits
@@spaceboffin Ok Thanks Mark
Nice video, well done. I have to say though that I am very skeptical about impact theory. My impression is that a team of researchers wanted to be famous, unfortunately with this absurd theory they succeeded ! It is much more likely that the Moon was formed by the protosolar nebula as a secondary condensation nucleus compared to Earth. Congratulations on your videos !
Thank you for your kind comments. There are many different theories, but this is the one most currently favored by planetary scientists.
This theory is in no way absurd, while there are multiple possibilities for the formation of the moon, given our understanding of the moons structure and makeup, this theory makes more sense than the rest
Then why does the moon have such a small iron core? If it formed in the same orbital zone as earth, then that iron core would be larger.
@@sigisoltau6073 1) It is not necessary to invoke an unlikely impact between protoplanets to have material in orbit around the Earth that gives rise to the Moon. The material was already there and from that material the Moon was formed like all other bodies in the Solar System. 2) A protoplanet clears its orbit and prevents any planetesimal from becoming as large as Mars! This is why protoplanet collisions are very unlikely and Lagrange points do not change this aspect. 3) Impacts cause craters, do not produce satellites or planets! Craters like Hellas, Utopia and the boreal basin on Mars or like Vredefort in South Africa or like Aitken Basin on the Moon. 4) The iron core of a planet is directly proportional to the amount of iron in the accretion disk that generated it, for example Mercury is very rich in iron, because in the inner nebula there was a large amount of iron. 5) Occam's Razor suggests that the simplest theory is probably the most correct; what could be simpler than saying that the Moon was formed like all the other bodies in the Solar System, that is, starting from a secondary condensation core with respect to the Earth?
However, I cannot exclude that the impact theory is correct, I find it unlikely ... I was not there 4.6 billion years ago to see how things went.
@@DELTA_OMEGA One has to remember a few things.
1: there were a lot of planetesimals ranging in size from roughly Pluto sized, to several times that of earth's mass if you include the gas giant cores. So collisions were fairly common during the planet formation process.
2: impacts today, even those you mentioned don't produce moons. At least not as large as our moon. The debris either gets drawn in by the planet or moon the asteroid impacted, stays in orbit as some of the gas giants minor moons could be fragments from such impacts, or got ejected and now orbit the sun or left the solar system. Uranus orbits the sun on a 97 degree axial tilt. It's possible that Uranus got hit by one or two objects large enough to knock it on its side. Some of the moons could be fragments from those impacts.
3: it is possible that the moon formed like earth from the same accretion disk. But how was it captured by the earth? Did it form around the earth already orbiting it? Or was it later captured by the earth? Both seem unlikely. If it formed in the same orbital area near earth, its iron content would be higher and thus its density would be higher as well. The moon's density is 3.34 tons per cubic meter, which means it has relatively low iron in it. If it formed near earth then it would have quite a bit more iron. If it formed further out where there was more rock than metal, like where Mars or the asteroid belt is today, how did it get captured by earth. Yes, when Jupiter migrated slightly inward from where it first formed, it caused all kinds of orbital changes in the asteroid belt and other objects. If the moon formed somewhere between Mars and Jupiter, and got pushed into the inner solar system, how did it get captured by the earth?
4: the Mars sized impact theory seems the most likely. It explains earth's axial tilt, and why the moon rocks sampled and analyzed so far are so similar to those on earth. Theia, that Mars sized object that impacted with the earth, most likely formed in roughly the same orbital zone as earth. When it hit, not only was most of it absorbed by the earth, but the debris over time formed the moon. Since both objects may have had similar rock composition, it would explain why the moon rocks are so similar in composition to those here on earth.
Mars is much larger to earth comparation,that size of theia is a bit small
Mars is about half the size of Earth, it’s the second smallest planet in the solar system
Wrong, mars is smaller than earth. Which is the same thing like with Venus which looks Bigger than Earth but it isnt

Science fictions are entertainment. It is up to the audiences whether to believe real or fiction, and not everyone has education to tell between real and fiction. The intelligence of each community levels at the bottom, because those who have biggest voices, not the most intelligent, be heard.
This isn't science fiction.
How could a respectable platform like NASA stoop to such low degree of belief!? The heavens declare the glory of God!
I'll just take a wild guess, that it's easier to believe in something that can be modelled, measured and predicted than something like a deity, which cannot
@@spaceboffin - The Almighty Lord God doesn't need to be modeled, measured or predicted to be believed. It takes Faith, which for some people, is the most difficult part.
@@user-qr9oc7wo1f and which of the 3000 gods we've invented is the 'almighty' one? Don't you believe in the other 2999? Where's your faith in them?
@@spaceboffin - Yes, mankind has invented its own "gods", brought about as a diversion to the true God, who sent His Son Jesus into the world to save those who choose to believe in Him. This whole deep space era we're in shows, even more clearly, God's power to create everything - a telescope doesn't detract from that, it merely shows it. Your videos are well-done and thought provoking. However, you have left out the Creator. I hope someday you find Him, then all your work will be complete.
