Based on an extensive collection of lunar and terrestrial samples, a new study probing the elusive origins of the Moon — now typically thought to have formed from a collision between a proto - Earth and a solid impactor — supports theories of a collision with extremely high energy.

If contamination from the exhaust produced the amino acids, then a sample taken from right under the Apollo 17 lunar module should have more amino acids than a sample taken far away.
