JOAN CARTAN-HANSEN, HOST: DID

00:06.600 --> 00:08.066 position:10% line:85% size:80%
YOU KNOW IT'S POSSIBLE THAT

00:08.066 --> 00:09.867 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THE EARTH ONCE HAD TWO MOONS?

00:09.867 --> 00:11.433 position:10% line:85% size:80%
NOW, THE MOON IS ASYMMETRICAL,

00:11.433 --> 00:12.800 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THAT IS-- IT ISN'T EXACTLY

00:12.800 --> 00:13.600 position:10% line:85% size:80%
ROUND.

00:13.600 --> 00:15.066 position:10% line:85% size:80%
AND THE SURFACE OF THE FAR AND

00:15.066 --> 00:16.433 position:10% line:85% size:80%
NEAR SIDES OF THE MOON LOOK

00:16.433 --> 00:17.433 position:10% line:85% size:80%
VERY DIFFERENT.

00:17.433 --> 00:18.734 position:10% line:85% size:80%
SO, SCIENTISTS HAVE ALWAYS

00:18.734 --> 00:19.700 position:10% line:85% size:80%
WONDERED WHY.

00:19.700 --> 00:21.000 position:10% line:85% size:80%
A FEW HAVE COME UP WITH A TWO

00:21.000 --> 00:22.500 position:10% line:85% size:80%
MOON IDEA.

00:22.500 --> 00:23.700 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THE MOON WAS FORMED ABOUT FOUR

00:23.700 --> 00:25.100 position:10% line:85% size:80%
AND A HALF BILLION YEARS AGO

00:25.100 --> 00:26.600 position:10% line:85% size:80%
WHEN A MARS-SIZED OBJECT

00:26.600 --> 00:28.266 position:10% line:85% size:80%
SLAMMED INTO THE EARTH.

00:28.266 --> 00:29.433 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THE DEBRIS FROM THAT CRASH

00:29.433 --> 00:31.633 position:10% line:85% size:80%
FORMED INTO THE MOON.

00:31.633 --> 00:33.166 position:10% line:85% size:80%
SOME SCIENTISTS THINK IT IS

00:33.166 --> 00:34.333 position:10% line:85% size:80%
POSSIBLE THAT A SECOND MOON

00:34.333 --> 00:35.800 position:10% line:85% size:80%
MAY HAVE FORMED AT THE SAME

00:35.800 --> 00:36.633 position:10% line:85% size:80%
TIME.

00:36.633 --> 00:38.100 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THAT SECOND MOON EVENTUALLY

00:38.100 --> 00:39.633 position:10% line:85% size:80%
COLLIDED WITH OUR MOON AND

00:39.633 --> 00:41.000 position:10% line:85% size:80%
LEFT BEHIND THE THICK CRUST OF

00:41.000 --> 00:42.600 position:10% line:85% size:80%
THE MOON'S FAR SIDE.

00:42.600 --> 00:43.900 position:10% line:85% size:80%
NASA'S GRAIL MISSION FLEW TWO

00:43.900 --> 00:45.233 position:10% line:85% size:80%
SPACECRAFTS THAT WILL

00:45.233 --> 00:46.734 position:10% line:85% size:80%
PRECISELY MEASURED THE MOON'S

00:46.734 --> 00:47.900 position:10% line:85% size:80%
GRAVITY TO HELP SCIENTISTS

00:47.900 --> 00:49.333 position:10% line:85% size:80%
UNDERSTAND HOW THE MOON CAME

00:49.333 --> 00:50.333 position:10% line:85% size:80%
TO BE FORMED.

00:50.333 --> 00:51.700 position:10% line:85% size:80%
SO THE DATA FROM GRAIL MAY

00:51.700 --> 00:53.066 position:10% line:85% size:80%
ANSWER THE QUESTION-WAS THERE

00:53.066 --> 00:55.166 position:10% line:85% size:80%
EVER A SECOND MOON?
