Scientific paper
Consideration is given to the use of data from the Apollo missions to study theories of the origin and geological evolution of the moon. Theories of lunar origin are examined, including origin by fission, binary accretion origin, the capture hypothesis, and the giant impact model. Apollo data related to each of these theories is summarized, showing that the giant impact model is the most probable theory for the origin of the moon. The giant impact model is outlined, focusing on the collision between the earth and a large body called Damocles.
