What if Earth had no moon? Our planet would be a chaotic world of six-hour days, hurricane-force winds, and extreme climate swings - too unstable for life as we know it.

Discover how this glowing companion has shaped Earth’s history - stabilizing its tilt, stirring the oceans to create the primordial soup of life, and recording billions of years of cosmic impacts.
