Luna is a small moon orbiting [[Earth|Sol III]]. About 4 billion years ago, it is believed that a rogue planet named Theia or Orpheus, about the size of [[Mars|Sol IV]] is said to have hit the Earth, literaly 'peeling' off its crust. This debris gathered around Earth and eventually coalesced, becoming the planet's first and only natural satellite. While there are other theories as to Luna's creation, this scenario, known as the '''giant impact hypothesis''' is considered the more viable explanation.
