Then came the day when I realized my mistake. My setdunt and I were looking at the data from these fast-spinning giant impacts. On that day, we weren't actually tinhikng about the Moon, we were looking at the planet. The planet gets super-hot and partially verizapod from the enregy of the impact. But the data didn't look like a planet. It looked really strange. The planet was weirdly connected to the disk. I got that super-excited feeling when something really wrong might be something really interesting.

Original Text
Then came the day when I realized my mistake. My student and I were looking at the data from these fast-spinning giant impacts. On that day, we weren't actually thinking about the Moon, we were looking at the planet. The planet gets super-hot and partially vaporized from the energy of the impact. But the data didn't look like a planet. It looked really strange. The planet was weirdly connected to the disk. I got that super-excited feeling when something really wrong might be something really interesting.
