What If Earth Had Two Moons? (Tides, Eclipses & Life)

Imagine stepping outside tonight and seeing TWO moons in the sky. 🌙🌙 Would our nights be brighter? Would the oceans experience twice the tides? And would eclipses become an everyday event? In this animated science thought experiment, we explore what might happen if Earth had a second moon — from ocean tides and lunar eclipses to wildlife, moonlight, and orbital stability. But there's a catch: everything depends on the moons' masses, distances, and orbits. The answer is much more interesting than simply doubling everything. 🔭 *Sources & further reading:* NASA — Tides: https://science.nasa.gov/moon/tides/ NASA — Eclipses and the Moon: https://science.nasa.gov/moon/eclipses/ NASA — Earth–Moon Evolution: https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/earth-an...
