What If the Moon Had Its Own Moon?
A new moon has appeared near Earth, but it's orbiting the Moon instead of our planet. Explore how this mini moon formed, its potential permanence, and its effects on Earth.
Timeline:
01:14 The Great Impact Hypothesis: Moon’s formation
02:16 Alternative moon formation
03:40 Moon’s moon as a captured asteroid
04:51 Collision with Earth or ejection
06:05 Cultural/scientific impact of a moon moon
07:14 Earth shrinks, Moon expands
08:47 Gravity changes on 'Little Earth'
10:15 Health impacts of low gravity on humans
11:39 'Big Moon’s' gravity
13:01 Atmospheric loss on Little Earth
14:45 Tidal locking & becoming a moon
16:21 Surviving on Big Moon
