This is SUPER cool, and timely as well. My daughter came home from school yesterday and told me that the moon was formed when a larger object hit the Earth, and being able to show her this visualization of it today was just perfect.

Your daughter or their teacher might like this video called 4.5 Billion Years In One Hour.

It might also be a hollow space station. So maybe show her star wars and the matrix too. Just to cover the basics

Heh! Star Wars and the inherent instability of large hollow spheres has already been covered. Not quite sure we're ready for The Matrix, though. 🤣
