Some planets have moons.  OK. Planets are real. OK.  Now...they think they
know how the planets were formed (yeah right).  And they think they know how
the moon was formed (yeah right).  They don't have a clue.  The closest we
can come to understanding is to study the Eagle Nebula (something I know
absolutely nothing about).  Why is seemingly nobody doing this?

I do know that the Eagle Nebula is the birthplace of stars and it has been
proven that most of these stars have planets around them.  Isn't that the
best place to look for clues to how the moon and the planets and ever the
entire solar system was formed?

If this nebula (and others like it) is where solar systems are born and you
want the answer to the question that you ask about how the moon and the
planets were formed, isn't this the best place to look?

Personally, I don't give a $hit!!!

I am doing research on the aliens, not the moon.

How Did The Moon Form?

Watched a documentary last night Titled:
"What If We Had No Moon?"

Seems that the best theory for how the
Earth's moon formed was a collision with
a mars-sized planet some billions of
years ago.

If you get a chance to see this
documentary, do so.

It's an old documentary, a couple of years old.  The theory sucks big
time and it's a poor one.  It's a subject that is best left alone 'cause
no one can really come up with a good theory.  It's like Frank Drake's
stats for inhabited worlds.  It's like SETI waiting for that signal
that'll never come. It's stupid theorizing.  The documentary is ot worth
recommending.  But the special effects people had a good time!

It's a poor one because...? Do you have any ides on this, or just gut

feelings?
