The Mars-sized planetoid is impacting the Earth. Rather than a square-on impact, it is impacting the side of the Earth with a 'glancing blow', so that the Moon will eventually form from mainly ‘lighter’, less metallic rocks rather than the heavier metallic rocks.

火星般大小的行星正在与原始地球相撞。撞击并不呈直角而是“侧击”地球的一侧,这使得月亮最终主要由“较轻”的含较轻金属的岩石而不是较重金属的岩石形成。
