The Moon’s origin is an exciting topic that many scientists believe started with a colossal collision between early Earth and a Mars-sized body. In this study, we examine the possibility that Theia, a body known to have existed, may have formed in a stable orbit between Earth and Mars, and eventually collided with our planet due to orbital changes over time. To explore this event, we use the REBOU
