“What if?” questions have always stimulated people to think in new ways. What if the Earth Had Two Moons leads us on a fascinating 10 world journey exploring what the Earth would be like if conditions in the universe were slightly different. The answer: Earth would be different, often in ways that would surprise us. The title chapter, for example, gives us a second moon orbiting closer to Earth than the one we have now. The night sky is a lot brighter, but not forever. Eventually the moons collide, with one more-massive moon emerging after a period during which Earth has a Saturn-like ring. The scenarios also shed new light on the burgeoning search for life on planets orbiting other stars. Subjects include: What if the Earth had two Moons?; What if the Earth were the moon of a massive planet?; What if the Earth orbited a less massive sun?; What if the Earth had a thicker crust?; What if the Moon orbited the Earth in the opposite direction?; What if the Earth had two Suns?; What if the Earth had a twin orbiting on the opposite side of the Sun?; What if the Andromeda Galaxy collides with the Milky Way?; What if the Earth formed closer to the center of our galaxy?; What if the Earth formed in the distant future?; tons more.
