Enter the recent work by Dr. Sarah Stewart, a MacArthur “genius grant” winner from UC Davis whose team has developed an intriguing new twist on the impact hypothesis. Using state of the art computer models and high energy laboratory experiments, Stewart and her colleagues including Simon Locke from Cal Tech have a new way to look at how impacts affect the planetary formation process in general and the peculiar Earth-Moon system (which is more like a double planet) in particular. It’s not just howling at the Moon!
