The search for our solar system's lost planet

How did NASA know it was called Theia? TeraLink Was Here! Our planet is called Gaia, maybe they named her Theia cause of that.. IDK

Many people think that another planet comonly known as Nibiru or planet x exists. its very interesting if you decide to research it.

Well, if indeed there was a collision, have they found evidence on Earth itself to believe this is the case? I'd love to read about it.

no the belt is a failed planet because of jupiter. jupiter, that son of a b**ch...

No when they collided both planets were destroyed. Earth's gravity was able to pull it back into one piece. Most of the rest became the moon. Thats the theory anyways. some of the pieces are in the trojan positions of the moon. I will let mid or one of the others explain that. They can probable do a better job than i could

My understanding is this occured way back when Earth was still forming, at the time it was still a mostly molten ball, when the hypothetical planet Theia collided with Earth. Actually, Earth and the Moon are the byproduct of the two planets colliding. How did NASA know it was called Theia? TeraLink Was Here! Uh. We uh... Named it. Like... recently. Also, the Earth does have other satellites: http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-spac...oes-earth-have/ Not that any of them are probably from the collision, seeing as how their orbit is relatively weak, and formed relatively recently.

what if there was a ring of rocks orbiting earth, but its too small to see... so we dont know about it...

what if there was a ring of rocks orbiting earth, but its too small to see... so we dont know about it... Eh, considering the amount of probes we have in orbit around Earth, and the number of probes we've sent out of orbit, we'd have hit it by now, even if it wasn't visible.
