How Unstable Moons Could Destroy Alien Life
One of the most intriguing questions in astronomy is whether there is life beyond Earth. Many scientists are searching for signs of life on planets orbiting distant stars, hoping to find evidence of biospheres similar to our own.
However, a new study suggests that some of these planets may face a serious threat from their own moons: instability.
The study, published in journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, examines how the gravitational interactions between a planet and its moons can affect the stability of the moons’ orbits over time.
The researchers found that if a planet has multiple large moons, like Jupiter or Saturn, their orbits can become chaotic and eventually collide with each other or with the planet. This could have devastating consequences for any life on the planet or its moons.
The researchers used computer simulations to model different scenarios of planetary systems with multiple large moons. They varied parameters such as the number and size of the moons, their orbital distances and eccentricities, and their initial orbital phases.
They found that in most cases, the moons’ orbits became unstable within a few billion years, leading to collisions or ejections from the system.
The collisions could produce huge amounts of debris that would rain down on the planet or its remaining moons, potentially causing mass extinctions or sterilization.
The ejections could also alter the climate and habitability of the planet or its moons by changing their orbital distances and periods. For example, if Earth’s moon were ejected from its orbit, Earth would lose its tides and seasons and experience more extreme temperature variations.
The researchers estimated that about 10 percent of exoplanets with multiple large moons could experience instability within 10 billion years, which is roughly the age of our galaxy. This means that many potentially habitable worlds could be rendered uninhabitable by their own moons.
However, not all planetary systems with multiple large moons are doomed to instability. The researchers identified some factors that could increase the stability of such systems, such as having fewer and smaller moons, having more circular and coplanar orbits, and having resonant orbital configurations (such as when one moon completes two orbits for every one orbit of another moon). These factors could help maintain stable gravitational balances between the planet and its moons.
One example of a stable system with multiple large moons is our own solar system. The researchers found that none of our giant planets’ moons are likely to become unstable within 10 billion years.
This is partly because our giant planets have relatively few large moons (four each for Jupiter and Saturn), which are mostly in resonant orbits (such as Io-Europa-Ganymede for Jupiter). Moreover, our giant planets are far enough from each other that they do not perturb each other’s moon systems significantly.
The study highlights how complex and dynamic planetary systems can be over long timescales. It also shows how important it is to consider not only planets but also their satellites when searching for extraterrestrial life.
While some planets may seem promising at first glance based on their size and distance from their star (the so-called “habitable zone”), they may actually be hostile to life due to their unstable moon systems.
Did you know NASA has finally revealed the truth about the fake moon landings?
Mainstream media barely reported on the astonishing revelations, so most people remain none the wiser about what NASA has admitted in the last 12 months.
The truth of the matter is NASA has all but admitted the landings were fake, and anybody who works in the space industry or has any knowledge about rocket science has quietly accepted that the whole thing was a charade. So why the hell is nobody talking about this?
We literally didn’t go to the moon in 1969 and, to this day, no human being — American, Russian, Chinese or ancient Egyptian — has been past lower earth orbit which is about 1000 miles above sea level.
That’s right, no human being has ever been higher than 1000 miles above sea level… Except for those times we “went to the moon” which is 240,000 miles away. And guess what, we did that in 1969! When a computer with the computing power of a TI-89 graphing calculator was the size of a house. We didn’t even have the technology for VCRs yet. We didn’t even have microwaves.
Fast forward to today, over 50 years later, when an iPhone 12 has more computing power than every single computer on Earth in 1969 COMBINED.
And yet…. NASA claims that we can’t go back to the moon because we have “lost the technology” to go to the moon. Apparently it was “destroyed” but they won’t tell us how or why.
Hmm… Seems legit.
But it gets even worse.
Tired of people asking to analyze the original moon landing tapes, NASA had to admit they had LOST them. Then the story changed and they claimed they had TAPED OVER THE ORIGINAL MOON LANDING TAPES because of budget cuts.
Apparently they have since found the original tapes in a suburban garden shed in Las Vegas. Conveniently for NASA, they weren’t found in a Hollywood basement used by Stanley Kubrick.
Because let’s face it, how likely is it that NASA would actually tape over the original footage of mankind’s greatest achievement? Because of budget cuts, really?
And the fact that the TV broadcast, watched by hundreds of millions, was not sent directly to TV stations but was rather a projection of the broadcast off a wall which was then recorded and sent out, doesn’t sound like NASA are covering their tracks or anything.
Let’s face facts. Everything that was done 50 years ago is a thousand times cheaper and easier to do today. Are we actually expected to believe that we went to the moon in this piece of shit 50 years ago? I’ve seen homeless encampments on Skid Row that have more insulation. I’ve seen Met Gala costumes that look sturdier than that.
It’s all so implausible. Who shot the event from outside the capsule? How is the American flag waving? Why do the shadows look like they are the result of multiple light sources? Why is the letter C visible on one of the rocks? (which happens to look like a prop on a film set)?
And don’t forget about the time NASA astronaut Alan Shepard supposedly sneaked a golf club and some balls onto Apollo 14 and played golf on the moon. Hold on, how do you sneak a golf club onto a space craft when every cubic inch and ounce is accounted for?
He sneaked it up his ass, obviously.
Really, let’s think about this rationally. In 1969 we sent a tiny homeless tent covered in aluminum foil 250,000 miles away to a precise location, when even being 1/10000 of an inch off in any part of the launch would have caused the ship to miss the moon by thousands of miles…. And yet, we landed it, we played golf… And now we can’t even get humans past 1000 miles above sea level.
Perhaps the final word should go to Buzz Aldrin. According to Buzz, we didn’t go to the moon at all! But he didn’t stop there. Listen to what he says about the hundreds of millions of people around the world who were affected by the moon landing. It’s call mass formation psychosis. The elite have been using this technique to brainwash the masses since 1969.

A video of a strange black object that appears to be a cube was filmed this week on Tuesday at an unspecified location in Texas, USA.
According to the unnamed author of the video, he and his wife looked up at the sky as a military plane that looked like an F-111 bomber flew west to east right over their house.
They regarded this incident as very unusual, since military aircraft had previously very rarely appeared in their area.
But they were even more confused when, literally “seconds later” after the bomber’s passage, a dark object appeared in the sky.
At first it seemed to them spherical, but then they considered that it was more like a cube. It is also possible that the object has changed its shape.
In the video, a man can be heard saying, “It’s so weird. A military plane flies by, and then THIS appears, whatever it is,” to which his wife replies, “I have no idea what it is.”
It is indicated that the man sent the video he shot to the UFO site MUFON. The eyewitness also admitted that the strange object could be something mundane, such as a baby balloon, but he thinks that this “air anomaly” emits some kind of glow, which is clearly not related to the properties of balloons.
In his opinion, this “glow” may be associated with the propulsion system of the aircraft.
