Many astrophysicists have said that the moon is very similar in composition to Mercury. To this date, the most accepted theory of how our moon formed is that some time 4.5 billion years ago, a planet sized objected impacted with Earth and formed the moon. Is it possible that the thing that hit earth was so large that while one chunk became our moon, the rest became Mercury? Could the moon and Mercury have once been the same object. It’s worth noting that both Mercury and the moon are estimated to have formed 4.5 billion years ago.
