Large impact not only scenario
Now that's interesting. The first thing that came to mind was one theory of how our moon was formed. With water that early on Earth and 4.5 million year old dry moon rocks it just how old was Earth when the impact occurred?
That's a good question.
There's no consensus about the moon's formation. I strongly suspect Earth's moon formed as a result of field interactions at roughly the same time as the Earth.
Obviously the moon didn't pop out of the Earth as a smooth sphere. A large, jagged bunch of debris would logically impact each other and create a fine asteroid ring around the earth much like Saturn or Jupiter. Even two enormous pieces would most likely impact again and again in orbit, again eventually forming a ring of debris rather than creating a symmetrical moon.
I've always found the ejection theory wanting, whether for planets or moons. Field action formation and growth is a much more plausible scenario.
Let's start with the Sun and other stars. They didn't just appear out of nowhere. There were scientific principles at work in their formation. Observations show that stars are found grouped in galaxies and the largest preponderance of these stars can be found forming among the lines of magnetic force which emanate from the galactic vortex.
Obviously star formation is field driven and these magnetic lines of force play an undefined role in fueling star formation. Is it not logical then that the fields around stars also fuel planetary development?
I find it quite plausible that planets begin to form almost immediately after the birth of a star at various points. These planets would use existing matter, in much the same way as hydrogen is concentrated in star formation.
Two spheres might form simultaneously in a field "hotspot" leaving the larger dominant one to become the planet and the other a moon orbiting the planet.
Obviously in instances of Deimos, Phobos and other field captured object/moons this would not be the case.
Imagine blowing up a balloon. Now imagine trying to blow up two balloons at one time. One balloon is more likely to receive most of the energy from your lungs and the other will expand only a little.
I think ejection theory served as a WAG/catchall for many years but, as we learn more, I believe we'll find that our moon was not ejected from the Earth by an impact, but rather our moon, and other perfectly spherical moons are like stunted siblings - the byproduct of the same initial field action that was forming the planets.
