Description
According to modern cosmological theories, the Earth condensed out of the sun's acretion disk into a solar system that has been compared to a shooting gallery. Theia is an hypothesised planet, one of potentially hundreds that shared a orbit with the fledgling earth and was said to have been about the size of mars. Then, about 4.5 billion years ago, Theia collided with the Earth, sending up great chunks of the planet and assorted ejecta that later coalesced into Earth's moon.
I have attempted to realise this ancient collision using Planet Killer by TheAntfarm along with Sickle Yields nebula cloud props.

Very nicely illustrated. But is that a tiny space vehicle I spotted orbiting proto-Earth? :-D

Well I had to throw in a little easter egg, maybe it is from some very ancient aliens!
