Collision

Five people were killed in separate traffic accidents across Israel on Thursday, including collisions in the Negev, Tel Aviv, the Ayalon Highway, and near Kiryat Ata.

Perhaps one of the most dramatic events in the history of our solar system happened much faster than previously thought. According to a new study, the Moon could have formed almost entirely within just five hours following a massive collision approximately 4.5 billion years ago.

This is not the first time remnants of human space activity have collided with the Moon, and the phenomenon is becoming a growing concern. The impact will eject a cloud of dust and rock fragments above the lunar surface, though it will be difficult to observe from Earth without a powerful telescope.
