Scientists have proposed many ideas for how the Moon formed. A leading contender, the Giant Impact theory, speculates that when Earth was a young planet and just beginning to form, it was hit by another emerging planet named Theia, located nearby.  1, record 1, English, - Theia

[...] quelques dizaines de millions d'années après la formation de la Terre, une petite planète de la taille de Mars (6.500 km de diamètre), baptisée Théia en souvenir de la divinité grecque mère d'Hélios (le Soleil) et de Séléné (la Lune), aurait heurté la Terre. L'impact se serait fait tangentiellement, arrachant une partie du manteau terrestre. La violence du choc aurait conduit à la fragmentation complète et à une vaporisation importante de ce corps céleste.  2, record 1, French, - Th%C3%A9ia

Scientists have proposed many ideas for how the Moon formed. A leading contender, the Giant Impact theory, speculates that when Earth was a young planet and just beginning to form, it was hit by another emerging planet named Theia, located nearby. The collision caused both planets to temporarily splatter apart into globs of gas, magma, and chemical elements before reforming into the bodies we know today to be the Earth and Moon.  4, record 2, English, - Giant%20Impact%20theory

A theory explaining some biological effects of radiation on the basis that ionization, which occurs in a discrete volume (the target) within the cell, directly causes a lesion that later results in a physiological response to the damage at that location.  1, record 3, English, - hit%20theory

The US Air Force has delivered to Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger its latest proposal for basing 100 MX intercontinental ballistic missiles in the western United States. Unlike previous proposals, this plan calls for the missiles to be closely spaced in a deployment strategy nick-named Dense Pack. In this scheme, the missile silos are super-hardened and placed about 700 m apart. The theory is that the silos would withstand anything but a direct hit and that the phenomenon known as fratricide among incoming enemy warheads would mean that there would be very few direct hits.  4, record 4, English, - closely%20space%20basing

Déploiement des missiles MX - le projet Dense Pack. L'US Air Force a remis à M. Caspar Weinberger, secrétaire américain à la Défense, une nouvelle proposition relative à l'implantation d'une centaine de missiles intercontinentaux de type MX dans l'ouest des États-Unis. Contrairement aux projets précédents, celui-ci prévoit d'aménager les missiles dans des silos espacés seulement de quelque 700 m (d'où la désignation «Dense Pack») et capables de résister à une explosion nucléaire, sauf en cas d'impact direct. On estime en effet que le phénomène dit «de destruction fratricide» dans les vagues de missiles ennemis diminuerait fortement les risques de coup au but.  4, record 4, French, - groupement%20serr%C3%A9
