Introduction: There are many things in the macrocosm that we have never known of. We know simple things about the moon such as its craters or mountain ranges, but do we know exactly how the moon came to be? When we contrast its lunar surface characteristics with the Earth’s, it is apparent that they came from completely different physical developments, 1 but it still isn’t enough information. Many people probably have never thought about …

…claimed that it separated in pieces. Then, millions of years in time, the pieces were slowly connected to each other and formed the moon.1 We become gradually more aware of the moon’s connections with major advances in autonomous probes, digital computing the moon’s formation, satellite telescopes, and learning about our planet by learning more about it; however, despite all the careful study and research, the origin of the moon still remains a mystery.
