 Theia - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
With her brother and husband Hyperion, she was the mother of Helios (the Sun), Selene (the Moon) and Eos (the Dawn).
She seems here a goddess of glittering in particular and of glory in general, but Pindar's allusion to her as "Theia of many names" is telling, since it suggests assimilation not only to similar mother-of-the-sun goddess like Phoebe and Leto, but perhaps also to more universalizing mother-figures like Rhea and Cybele.
Theia's mythological role as the mother of the Moon goddess Selene is referenced in the application of the name to a hypothetical planet which, according to one theory, collided with the Earth, resulting in the Moon's creation.

 Giant impact hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theia is thought to have formed at a Lagrangian point relative to Earth, i.e.
When Theia had grown to about the size of Mars, its size made it too heavy for its status, comparable to the Trojan asteroids in the orbit of Jupiter, to be stable, and its angular distance from Earth varied more and more until it hit Earth.
According to the hypothesis, 4.533 billion years (4.533 Ga) ago, 34 million years after Earth formed, a Mars-sized planetesimal hit the Earth at an oblique angle, destroying the impactor and ejecting most of the impactor and a significant portion of the Earth's felsic-rich mantle into space.

 Planet Theia
Theia is a medium sized rocky planet, orbiting a young type G2 star known as Solaria once every 392 days in the nebula of an ancient supernova.
Theia orbits Solaria at an average distance of around 167 million kilometers, giving it a temperature range comparable to Earth, though very slightly cooler as a whole, with an average temperature of roughly 13ºC (although the minimums and maximums are distant from this middle point).
Theia's atmosphere is much heavier than Earth's due to the high argon content, yet it is still completely compatible with the development of life, including human life.

Mit Theia wird eine Gestalt der griechischen Mythologie bezeichnet.

As a result, you'd expect to find a mix of isotopes in a sample, especially if that sample was born from different bodies.
Wiechert explains that the two bodies that created the moon must have been very similar: "an identical oxygen isotopic composition for the Earth and a Mars-sized impactor requires Theia formed from the same mix of components as the Earth." And similar composition, he adds, depends on how far the planets are from the Sun.

 BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | 'Double whammy' created the Moon
The precise date the Moon was formed is still a matter of debate, but Dr Canup's research implies it was right at the end of the planet-building process, which could have taken up to 100 million years.
Curiously, recent chemical research has shown that the planet Earth collided with was a twin to the Earth - scientists have called it "Theia" after the mother of the Moon in Greek mythology.
Details in the chemistry of the Moon show it to be almost identical in some key respects to the Earth, although it was made almost entirely from remnants of the impactor.
