Saw this documentary on Foxtel a while ago that explained the moon was formed from the earth during a massive collision with a smaller planet intersecting earth's orbit very early during the solar system formation. As a result today's earth is now bit smaller and the moon was very close orbiting earth at the beginning then progressively got further.
