(Moving even more off topic...)
When I was a kid and into astronomy more than I am now, it was never
a widely held theory that the moon was the result of a collision with
another planet ripping a chunk out of the earth. Is that widely
believed now or was it just a pet theory of the makers of this show
because it's, like, really dramatic?
(ObConlang: Does your conlang have a verb which specifically
describes massive asteroid impacts that rip a chunk off a planet and
make it into a moon? Why or why not?)
