Explanation:
The giant-impact theory is actually the preferred or current scientific hypothesis accepted for the Moon's origin. This appears that Moon evolved out of residue left over after a collision between Earth and Mars-sized celestial object around 4.5 billions year ago.
Sometimes the merging body is called Theia, named after the mythological Greek Titan that was Selene's mother, the Moon's goddess.
