[00:00:16]Without it, our planet could slowly begin to wobble unpredictably over time.

[00:00:21]That could trigger extreme [music] climate shifts across Earth.

[00:00:25]The nights would become dramatically darker, >> [music] >> and the length of Earth's days would slowly begin to change. And yet, the moon is slowly moving away from Earth right now, about 3.8 cm every year.
