The most accepted idea about the origin of the Moon is the Giant Impact Hypothesis. This theory suggests that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a Mars-sized body, often referred to as Theia, collided with the early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago. The resulting material from this massive impact eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This hypothesis is supported by computer simulations and the chemical similarities between Earth and Moon rocks.
