New research suggests that volcanoes were still erupting on the moon when dinosaurs roamed Earth. Researchers based their conclusion on an analysis of tiny glass beads brought back from the moon by a Chinese spacecraft.
Most scientists believe that the moon was formed when a massive asteroid smashed into the earth and blasted a huge chunk of the earth into space, and that became the moon. If true then the moon’s birth and younger existence was wildly cataclysmic
I didn’t realize the moon was ever anything but just a dead rock floating there

Asteroid, or proto-planet?
Wiki refers to it as a “mars-sized body”
Which possibly hasn’t even been fully digested yet.
So… the planet or candy bar?
Yes it’s a joke, however if a mars candybar hits earth at 99.999999% of the speed of light, I’d imagine the impact would be anything but a blip
