History of modern selenogony., 0, , The early 20th century saw the replacement of the nebular hypothesis with the Chamberlin-Moulton theory that the Solar System resulted from the encounter of the Sun with a passing star. Fruitful Encounters follows the eventual refutation of the encounter theory in the 1930s and the subsequent revival of a modernized nebular hypothesis, which was reconstructed with the help of nuclear physics. The "giant-impact" theory of the Moon's origin imagines an actual collision., Between the young Earth and a Mars-size planet, with the Moon being formed from a mixture of material from the impacting planet and the Earth's mantle. Professor Brush discusses the role of findings from the Apollo space program, especially the analysis of lunar samples, culminating in the establishment of this theory in the 1980s., , , , , Modern Book, , , 1997.110, , , Nebular hypothesis., Planetology., , , 0, 0, Solar system, Moon, Moon, , , , 0, 0, 0, Origin., Origin., Exploration., Brush, Stephen G., 1, , History of modern planetary physics ;, v. 3., Publisher description, Table of contents, 4, 4, 2, 1, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam027/95032973.html, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam026/95032973.html, Baker and Taylor, BTCP, , , 95032973, HELD BY AP$ - 230 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a32854812zDLCdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummarytContentsu20131018, a224563807zCLSbHARVARD UNIV, CABOT SCI LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCkDDCu20100721, a133780075zRBNbBROWN UNIVhFulliLCCu20100728, a176966872zPULbPRINCETON UNIVhFulliLCCkDDCu20100729, a369711039zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCqcatu20100701, a154418427zMDAVPbAMERICAN INST OF PHYSICShPrepubu20100714, a154961695zAOWbAMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOC LIBRhPrepubiLCCkDDCu20100712, a188922976zPAUbUNIV OF PENNSYLVANIAhFulliLCCkDDCu20100721, a475704171zTEUbTEMPLE UNIVhFullu20100709, aZ0bAP$, QB601 .B89 1996 v.3
