The origin of the Moon is a clear example of how myths precede science. Because mythology wanted a titan named Thea to collide with her own mother, that is, against Gaia, to give birth to her daughter Selene from the rubble caused by the collision. At the end of the day, creation is “a woman's business,” says the French astronomer Fatoumata Kebé in The book of the moon (Blackie), a tribute to our natural satellite.
