It was not known how the Moon formed until the Apollo astronauts brought back Moon rocks. It was then found that the rocks were similar to the Earth's showing that a planet had hit the Earth and scooped out a chunk of the mantle. Prior to this it was thought that either the Moon was a captured asteroid or had formed at the same time as the Earth from a disc of dust.
