Scientists estimated the age of the universe to be nearly _____ billion years using Hubble's pictures and images from the Wilkinson probe.

Capture hypothesis is presented by the Urey and was dominant up to the 60s which states that the Moon was an asteroid-like wandering structure that formed somewhere far in the solar system and was captured by Earth's gravity while it was wandering.

The most dominant and popular theory for the origin of the moon is the giant impact hypothesis says that it is formed from the debris left after the collision of the earth and Theia a Mars-sized body.

Telescopes are tools engineered for collecting light from any part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

4. cold

5. 14

6. The moon's mass is much lower than the earth's; therefore, its gravity isn't strong enough to hold an atmosphere. This lack of an atmosphere and the moon's small size allowed it to become cool enough to the point at which it completely solidified. Thus, the moon doesn't have any plate tectonic activity.
