All of us who do not live on or near the equator are familiar with the pattern of the changing seasons and the effect that these cycles have on the way we live our lives. To our ancestors in northern parts of Europe, Asia and America, the onset of winter must have been a time of fear and doubt, whilst the first buds of spring would have been a merciful relief that signalled there would soon be fresh food to eat.

The planet Mercury is virtually ‘upright’ in relation to its orbit around the Sun and has equatorial temperatures that would boil lead, yet probes sent from Earth have shown that the polar regions of Mercury are constantly covered in ice. If the Earth were upright, life would be almost impossible across much of the planet, with extremes of temperature providing only a narrow band of sea and land suitable for the survival of mammals such as humans. Even then, the sea and air currents would move wildly between the boiling hot and the freezing cold zones, causing catastrophic weather conditions with regions of permanent rainfall and others with none at all. Hurricanes and tornadoes would ravage many areas and overall it seems extremely unlikely that higher life forms would ever develop on such a planet.

Our life-bringing seasons are due to the fact that the Earth is held at an angle relative to the equator of the Sun that produces a veritable incubator for life. That angle does not happen by itself. It is maintained by the presence of the Moon, which acts as a gigantic planetary stabilizer.

Whilst we all take our Moon for granted, it is a very strange object indeed.
