(CNN) — A new theory has emerged relating to the Earth’s creation billions of years ago answering a glaring question that scientists have long pondered. Scientists mostly agree that an ancient planet likely smashed into the earth as it was forming, spewing debris that formed the moon the giant-impact hypothesis.
But what happened to that ancient planet Theia after the collision. with no leftover fragments located in the solar system…some believe theia’s fragments were blended in the fiery cauldron of earth’s interior.
a new theory suggests traces of theia may be closer than we think.
According to research published in the journal ‘Nature, Scientists believe molten slabs of Theia could have embedded themselves within Earth’s mantle after impact. Which means portions of the ancient planet could rest just 18-hundred miles below the Earth’s surface.
