Has anyone proposed that the Moon is the remains of the once molten core of a planet, perhaps similar in size to Earth. The Planet had some catastrophe and then the remaining core cooled over time taking various hits which would be easier to understand as it was still in a semi-molten state. I was reading an article today that said they observed the remains of a volcano on the far side of the moon, which appeared to be the last active volcano before it finally cooled completely, would be my guess. Has this line of thought been considered, that the moon is perhaps the barren remains of the core of a planet. Could it have been a planet similar to Earth? Would it's size be representative of the size of the Earth's core and could we have had a twin?
