E02 How the Moon Was Born | Earth’s Early History | Hadean Eon | Theia | EarthDoc

Around 4.5 billion years ago, the young Earth experienced a collision that would permanently reshape its future. In this episode, we explore the formation of the Moon through the giant impact hypothesis — a planetary-scale collision between Earth and a Mars-sized body known as Theia. This event not only gave rise to the Moon, but also marked the final stage of Earth’s accretion, triggered a global magma ocean, and set the conditions for Earth’s internal evolution. From a semi-molten surface to the birth of the Earth–Moon system, this episode traces one of the most decisive moments in Earth’s early history. Earth Doc is a long-form documentary series that tells the 4.6-billion-year story of our planet — from its cosmic origins to the world we inhabit today.
