These monumental blows can literally set moons rocking, said researcher Francis Nimmo, a planetary scientist at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

桑塔·克鲁兹加州大学的行星科学家，佛朗西斯•尼姆说，最不朽的碰撞使得月球完全摇摆不定。

While these angles might not seem much, such tumbling would have dramatically increased stresses inside these moons, leading very likely to "a global pattern of tectonic fractures," Nimmo explained.

这些角度看起来不大，但这种倾斜可能会急剧地增加这些卫星内部的压力，常常可能导致“一个全球的构造裂纹”，尼姆解释说。
