From the article: > During Earth’s earliest days, it was covered by a sheet of molten silicate rock. Dr. Hosono’s team wondered what would have happened if Theia had crashed into Earth at that time, rather than during a later, cooler, more solid phase. This is the simulation of how a moon could have been formed, this is not supposed to represent the formation of the actual Moon. |

The animation doesn't show a moon in a stable orbit forming, so obviously it doesn't even show how it could have happened.
