Good Ol' Moon

The rare Christmas full moon might make you think of a couple of things. Among them for me is this list of items about how life on our planet would be different without our near neighbor.

I couldn't find the original source, but the item regarding much smaller tides prompted a writer I remember to speculate on whether or not we have any dry land life forms if we had no moon. The smaller tides mean many fewer chances for life forms to be exposed to a sort of mixed-version environment and produce far less pressure to develop air-breathing capability.

Take it away, Sebastian!
