## Resource

Imagine the Moon breaking out of its orbit and plunging toward Earth—what would actually happen? In this episode, we walk through each stage of this impossible-but-thrilling scenario: how gravity would twist tides, what the sky would look like, how the atmosphere would react, and why the collision itself would completely reshape our planet. A dramatic deep-dive into cosmic physics and the forces that keep our world safe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
