Episode 248: What if… the moon simply disappeared?

This podcast is another episode in our “The Curious Case of…” series. Don’t be put off it’s not just for scientists, but for anyone with a curious mind.

Welcome back to English-Podcasts In this episode we go on a thought experiement when we ask ourselves, what would happen if the moon didn’t exist, if it just dispeared one day. You’ll see that we cover many suprising factors.

Notes

You don’t need to be an astrophysicist to wonder about the moon. Does it do anything, except for shining a light at night ? Well, yes it does ! Is it made of cheese? The answer to that is definately no !  Listen in as we delve into quite a few good reasons to be thankful it does! In the video you can see pictures and guide words to help you follow the conversation.

Without the moon, life on earth would be very different. Just think about the tides, the earth’s tilt and the length of the day.

Intrigued? Just listen in… what if…
