The "mystery" I was referring to was how we came to have such a large moon to begin with. It's very unusual, and moons on other terrestrial planets are much smaller and probably formed through completely different ways than earth's moon.

That isn't clear at all and I'm not even sure I agree, regardless. Hydrostatic equilibrium is a regularly occuring thing. No, I'm not looking up how regular. The Universe is mind-bogglingly enormous and everything is unusual. Have a good day.
