Catastrophic, planet-wide tides flood cities. Pitch black nights. The ice age more powerful than Earth has ever seen. And tungsten-shaded evening skies. This is what would happen if we swapped our Moon with other moons in the Solar System. Spoiler alert – you are not surviving most of these.

    So you’re saying we came from the Big Bang, and at the same time ended up with a perfectly sized and positioned Moon that doesn’t destroy us on a daily basis? 😂

    I'd like to see a video that would show how far away the larger moons would have to be in order to recreate the moon's gravitational effect. For the smaller ones, I would imagine the distance would be irrelevant.

    I HATE the f'n bombastic wall_of_sound, adrenalin rush, "music" on what would otherwise be somewhat interesting and well animated video. I miss ol'school nature docos.
