The Moon Changed Earth—and Earth Changed the Moon | Calm Space to Fall Asleep To

Earth’s spin, lunar orbit, and oceans have changed together over deep time. This calm documentary traces evidence from competing Moon-formation accounts through tides and incomplete geological records to today’s laser-ranging measurements.
The current average recession rate is about 3.8 centimetres per year; it has not been constant through Earth’s history. Ancient sediment preserves local, incomplete records. The Moon affects Earth’s tides and axial dynamics, but the evidence does not show that it was required for life.
