A new study suggests that Earth -Moon system played host to a variety of polar moons during Earth 's early years .

These polar moons were stable immediately after the formation of the Moon , at the time when there was a lot of debris around the system.

When the Moon first formed (which some scientists think may have taken only a few hours ), it was only 5 percent as far from Earth as it is today at around 238,900 miles on average.
