  The bottom assumes the sun moved between the earth and the moon, but what if the moon just moved to be on the other side of the sun? 🤔

    My first thought is that the tides would disappear. I’m sure that would fuck up things somehow.

  In a quizz show, one question was “which planet is between sun and moon during lunar eclipse?” and I love this framing so much

  I think if the last one was a result of the sun not getting closer but the moon getting farther, we’d be okay right?

  Like I know it wouldn’t great for certain things.

    I’d find it hard to believe anything could happen that would cause the moon to be thrown out of it’s orbit enough to end up on the far side of the sun, but leave earth unaffected.

      The moon is slowly migrating away from the earth into higher orbits (due to the earth spinning faster than the Moon’s orbit), eventually it could escape with a gravity assist from Mars or Venus. It’ll have tidal consequences for Earth, but not like catastrophic (though I suspect it might allow the earth’s core to cool a bit faster, which could be the beginning of the end of life on earth).

      Maybe once we start trying to settle it, it’ll look at Earth and say “nope”

    Yeah sure who needs tides?

    In fact, theres a chance that the climate catastrophe from destroying the moon would offset the effects of anthropogenic climate change. Not a very good chance, like 0.00000001%, but still better than everything else we’re doing.

      A moonless earth would still have tides, they’d just be much smaller.

      Wouldn’t the lack of tides result in the ocean getting pretty stagnant, deoxygenating, and most ocean life dying except for microbes and plankton, which would then affect the atmosphere and pretty much kill our current biome?

      Fuck it, let’s try it.
