Question
What would happen if Earth had two moons instead of one? How would that change the night sky? (Page 170)
Answer

If Earth had two moons: The night sky would be brighter and more dynamic. There could be more frequent eclipses. The gravitational pull on Earth would be different, possibly affecting tides and even weather patterns. The two moons might cross paths, creating fascinating views or even risks of collision over long periods.
