It is hypothesised that this collision sent a huge mass of debris into space, which eventually came together (under the gravitational pull of the Earth) to form our moon.<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cgiant impact\u201d hypothesis has long been the most favoured explanation for the creation of our moon, but until now researchers have lacked key evidence to fully support this claim. This recent study created a \u201cre-enactment\u201d of the impact using liquids that were representative of what would have occurred when the planetary object first struck the newly formed Earth (at this stage in its development the Earth was far less solid and more malleable than it is in its current form). These experiments recreated the key ratios of forces acting on each other at the time of impact and (for the first time) also accounted for turbulent mixing. This turbulent mixing had to be done in the lab using real fluids in the exact ratios that were believed to have occurred during the time of collision, as turbulence is such a complex process that it is difficult to simulate mathematically.<\/p>\n<p>A thick stratified layer at the top of the Earth\u2019s core, enriched with lighter elements such as oxygen, sulphur and silicon has previously been measured using seismographic data. Whilst other explanations had previously been postulated as to the existence of this layer, the results of this turbulent mixing study demonstrate that it could have been created following a large impact with a Mars-sized body. The presence of this layer would therefore seem to strongly support the giant impact hypothesis of moon formation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An audio version of the poem can be heard <a href=\"https:\/\/macguffin.io\/sam-illingworth\/the-break-up\/read\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forever in the shadow that you cast, She hangs like a dead lantern in the sky; A memory of a love that did not last,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":222,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"generate_page_header":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[260,100,218,2,261,3],"class_list":["post-332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-science-poems","tag-earth","tag-love","tag-moon","tag-poetry","tag-relationship","tag-science","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
