Ancient Earth Impact
Evidence exists that make astronomers believe that the Earth and the Moon were created when a Mars-sized object slammed into the early proto-earth, about billion years ago. Recent findings suggest that heavier metals like gold, platinum, palladium and other iron-loving elements found in Earth's and the Moon's crusts and mantles came from similar, but much smaller impacts at the final stage of formation.
