oh boy, now the New York Post gets into the act. In an article banging on about the pseudo-science of astrology they said

"The last time a planet had any affect on us, Helfand says, is when a chunk of rock that would eventually become Mars crashed into Earth and created the moon 4.5 billion years ago."

i think they meant a Mars sized object, Theia did not form Mars. Am i expecting too much from reporters for this basic fact checking? it really concerns me about the other types of mistakes they make that i can't pick out off the top of my head ... scary
