If We Had No Moon background

If We Had No Moon

Without a moon, Earth's oceans and natural cycles are dramatically altered, with no gravitational pull to influence tides and govern the rhythms of life.

The documentary begins by imagining a catastrophic scenario where Venus collides with Earth, wiping out both planets. While this may seem like science fiction, many astronomers and experts agree that without the Moon, such a disaster could have already occurred. The film explores the importance of the Moon to our planet by examining what life would be like without it, with the help of expert scientists.
