This'll put your bad day in perspective.

We're still not entirely sure how the Moon formed billions of years ago — a mystery scientists have been trying to unravel for decades.One of the most popular hypotheses explaining the formation of the Moon suggests it was formed after a Mars-sized object dubbed Theia collided with the Earth around 4.5 billion years ago.

One of the biggest pieces of the puzzle to date is the fact that the rocks returned by astronauts during the Apollo missions closely resembled the composition of rocks on Earth. The team used cutting edge supercomputers to simulate hundreds of different impacts between two colliding bodies. The resulting video is a stunning animation of two floating objects, caught in a lava-spewing dance.

In other words, the Moon may be made up of much more Earth material, especially when it comes to its outer layers, which makes sense given what we know about their similarities in composition.
