"Rock collected by Apollo 17 astronauts reveals moon’s true age"
"A new analysis of that sample detected zircon crystals and dated them to
4.46 billion years old."
“These crystals are the oldest known solids that formed after the giant impact."
Revealed indirectly by the UB's 1955 explanation of the birth of our solar system
(moon was created during creation of the earth, both from solar matter):
"
4,500,000,000 years ago the enormous Angona system began its approach to the neighborhood of this solitary sun. The center of this great system was a dark giant of space, solid, highly charged, and possessing tremendous gravity pull." (57:5.4)
"as Angona drew nearer and nearer, the gravity pull of the gigantic visitor became so great that these tongues of gas would break off at certain points, the roots falling back into the sun while the outer sections would become detached to form independent bodies of matter, solar meteorites, which immediately started to revolve about the sun in elliptical orbits of their own." (57:5.5)
"The five inner and five outer planets soon formed in miniature from the cooling and condensing nucleuses in the less massive and tapering ends of the gigantic gravity bulge which Angona had succeeded in detaching from the sun" (57:5.9)
"Subsequent to the birth of the solar system a period of diminishing solar disgorgement ensued. Decreasingly, for another five hundred thousand years, the sun continued to pour forth diminishing volumes of matter into surrounding space." (57:6.1)
Note: Apparently, the source for Paper 57:5 has not yet been found
(and have later publication relative to perfection of radiometric dating):

"The Moon ... provides quite precise age dates from the samples returned from the Apollo missions. Rocks returned from the Moon have been dated at a maximum of 4.51 billion years old. Martian meteorites that have landed upon Earth have also been dated to around 4.5 billion years old by lead–lead dating ... Altogether, the concordance of age dates of both the earliest terrestrial lead reservoirs and all other reservoirs within the Solar System found to date are used to support the fact that Earth and rest of the Solar System formed at around 4.53 to 4.58 billion years ago."
"Successive planetary revelations of divine truth invariably embrace the highest existing concepts of spiritual values as a part of the new and enhanced co-ordination of planetary knowledge. Accordingly, in making these presentations about God and his universe associates, we have selected as the basis of these papers more than one thousand human concepts representing the highest and most advanced planetary knowledge of spiritual values and universe meanings. Wherein these human concepts, assembled from the God-knowing mortals of the past and the present, are inadequate to portray the truth as we are directed to reveal it, we will unhesitatingly supplement them, for this purpose drawing upon our own superior knowledge of the reality and divinity of the Paradise Deities and their transcendent residential universe." (0:12.12)
This news seems to highlight the 0:12:12 Acknowledgement (Section 57:6 provided by "God-knowing mortals"
and 57:5 is supplement, aka "revelation"). Now, 12:12 would make a cool Midwayer prompt!
Current theories about how the earth and its moon were formed do not acknowledge the astronomical parallel of the moon's gravity on the earth's oceans (causes tides). If conceptualized, an ancient Agona gravity pull on our young sun might now be conceivable.
Long story short ...
"Urantia is of origin in your sun, and your sun is one of the multifarious offspring of the Andronover nebula, which was onetime organized as a component part of the physical power and material matter of the local universe of Nebadon. And this great nebula itself took origin in the universal force-charge of space in the superuniverse of Orvonton, long, long ago." (57:1.1)
"875,000,000,000 years ago the enormous Andronover nebula number 876,926 was duly initiated. Only the presence of the force organizer and the liaison staff was required to inaugurate the energy whirl which eventually grew into this vast cyclone of space." (57:1.6)
"6,000,000,000 years ago marks the end of the terminal breakup [of Andronover] and the birth of your sun, the fifty-sixth from the last of the Andronover second solar family." (57:4.8 )
"Thus was the stage of local space set for the unique origin of Monmatia, that being the name of your sun’s planetary family, the solar system to which your world belongs. Less than one per cent of the planetary systems of Orvonton have had a similar origin." (57:5.3)
"4,500,000,000 years ago the enormous Angona system began its approach to the neighborhood of this solitary sun. The center of this great system was a dark giant of space, solid, highly charged, and possessing tremendous gravity pull." (57:5.4)
"As Angona more closely approached the sun, at moments of maximum expansion during solar pulsations, streams of gaseous material were shot out into space as gigantic solar tongues. At first these flaming gas tongues would invariably fall back into the sun, but as Angona drew nearer and nearer, the gravity pull of the gigantic visitor became so great that these tongues of gas would break off at certain points, the roots falling back into the sun while the outer sections would become detached to form independent bodies of matter, solar meteorites, which immediately started to revolve about the sun in elliptical orbits of their own."
Here begins the formation of our solar system with its planets and their moons;
all due, apparently, to that ancient gravity pull of Angona on our sun
Postscript 1 ...
"Today, your sun has achieved relative stability, but its eleven and one-half year sunspot cycles betray that it was a variable star in its youth. In the early days of your sun the continued contraction and consequent gradual increase of temperature initiated tremendous convulsions on its surface. These titanic heaves required three and one-half days to complete a cycle of varying brightness. This variable state, this periodic pulsation, rendered your sun highly responsive to certain outside influences which were to be shortly encountered." (57:5.2)
"Thus was the stage of local space set for the unique origin of
Monmatia, that being the name of your sun’s planetary family, the solar system to which your world belongs. Less than one per cent of the planetary systems of Orvonton have had a similar origin." (57:5.3)
Restated: The sun's responsiveness (via periodic pulsation) to outside influences (Angona)
suggests that modern astronomers would not discover how our solar system was created,
since it represents "less than one percent of Orvonton's planetary systems". Thus ...
revelation still needs be the astronomy guidance in this new millennium.

"Scientists widely agree that an ancient planet likely smashed into Earth as it was forming billions of years ago,
spewing debris that coalesced into the moon that decorates our night sky today."
"Yuan replied: 'I also want to stress this is an idea; this is a hypothesis. There’s no way to prove this must be the case ...
I welcome other people to do this (research).' ”
An ancient planet in the Angona system, some day giving evidence of that system?
Or just an astronomic "placeholder" until Angona is hypothesized?
