| 0:00.0 | Do you hear that? It might sound like nothing to you, but it's actually the sound of nuclear, wind and solar energy. |
| 0:11.0 | At EDF, we're busy generating more British |
| 0:14.2 | zero carbon electricity than anyone to help keep future energy |
| 0:17.7 | cost down for everyone and help cut UK carbon emissions to nothing. Sound good to you? Find out more about our |
| 0:25.0 | zero carbon generation at EDF Energy. Space of the Space Show. |
| 0:40.0 | We are thrilled to be speaking to two guides to the formation of the moon and evidence of the |
| 0:47.0 | collision that happened very early in the solar system. |
| 0:50.4 | The article is in Nature magazine, Moon Form Impactor as a source of Earth's basal mantle anomalies. |

| 1:44.0 | And for the moon in our model, |
| 1:48.0 | about 50% of the moon is also come from the impactor. So the rest of the |
| 1:55.0 | impacter is also come from the impacter. |
| 1:58.0 | Professor, about these percentages, |
| 2:00.0 | are they profound because you provide a video in your article that shows us what it would have looked like at the collision? |
| 2:07.2 | Are these numbers all consistent with that video? |
| 2:10.1 | 50% is of the moon is earth 50% is there. |
| 2:15.8 | Yeah, these are from I have to give credit to Chen |
