The same material as what?

The composition of the Moon is different from that of the Earth: it's comparatively poor in iron and nickel. It is, however, broadly similar to the composition of the Earth's crust. One theory is that the Moon was ejected from the Earth in a collision between the Earth and another body, probably about the size of Mars, given the hypothetical name Theia.

If this happened, it would have done so about 4.5 billion years ago, and the Moon would have been composed partly of the material making up Theia and partly of material making up the proto-Earth, though poor in siderophiles which had by that point sunk into the core and richer in the lighter elements making up the crust and mantle.
