Read the passage.
What is the
“sister theory” of the Moon’s creation?
The sister theory holds that the Moon may have formed
along with Earth as a result of the formation of the solar system. When astronauts retrieved moon
rocks in 1969, however, scientists discovered that they were not made of matter from the solar
nebula. If they were, they would have matched Earth rocks more closely. Moon rocks contain
materials such as that found in Earth’s crust, which supports the theory of an asteroid
collision.
