Without the moon, Earth would be a very different and desolate place today--four hours of sunlight with pitch-black nights, steady 100-mph winds spawning giant hurricanes that last for months, in Season 4, Episode 2, "The Day the Moon Was Gone."

I’m so high watching this 😂

It’s crazy to think all the things that had to happen in order for this planet to become stable enough to support complex life just for the inhabitants to hate each other….

Major respect to the cameraman that traveled across the solar system for this footage.

We all will get baked together. Best last quote.

Can you imagine (if humans could have survived the impact) watching our moon coalesce in a year...mind blowing, what a fricken' sight that would have been. A quote I have on my desk: "with everything needed for life to exist it is a wonder we are here at all". Crazy.

"The universe" is a very well documented series. I watched from beginning to end.

This kind of tells you how rare our environment really is.

You know you’re an adult when you’ve developed preferences for the different history channel narrators.

Earth and Moon: Together until the end what a beautiful ending :')

Think about this: in the beginning of our moons existence, it was much closer to Earth. I believe about 14,000 miles away. It looked massive in the sky. This caused the tidal waves to be much higher too. Such a surreal idea.

And we would lose the spookiness we need it for ghost stories. Love this video

My bell-shaped curve says that their guess is probably wrong

Who else feels like we're all in one giant space ship traveling thru the universe 🖐🏼

Thanks for our creator who created us and this beautiful earth we live on. The scientists go on trying to find a planet like ours i don't think they will ever find?

Villain: Note to self, do not destroy the moon.
@kirbywaite1586 1 year ago

How could they possibly feel confident in saying it all happened within one year's time? Even one inch a years is somehow frightening.
