Now show me the gif of if ISS was as close to Earth as the Moon.

And then the moon suddenly made this face: /a/BNnjc
wowthatwasquick
Imagine the surfing!
EarthAnimalArmy
why? you wouldn't be alive to surf, at the close proximity, the moon would have ripped the Earths atmosphere away

and where is the Interstellar-like Tsunami?
Zahnradfee
In the ocean.
Phischstaebchen
it should follow the moon, though
Zahnradfee
Yes, but when there's land, it will eventually stop. The coasts are fucked of course but the inside of the large continents might be spared.
Phischstaebchen
pretty much, yeah. Btw. your username is... interesting

If an alien race wanted to destroy humans, they wouldn't have to touch earth, just destroy the moon. You're welcome, aliens!

I had to scroll down to the bottom to find a Majora's Mask gif, I'm glad I found it, but disappointed it's so far down.

This is ocarina of time i think?

No, it's in the beginning of MM when the mask salesman realizes Link didn't yet get his mask back.

I can't see it. Could you add a red circle?

Reminds me of the sky in Subnautica /a/uBjzk
THR333
the first eclipse i experienced bout made me crap my pants. loved that game.
OblivionOrBust
To be fair, Subnautica is definitely a game where you need to keep your head on a swivel and unmuted.

And to think it was at some point. Although i'm sure there was much more fire involved.

Probably because at that range the tides would flood coastal cities all the time. And at that speed we probably all die from something.
TheNonInsestuousJaime
This would probably create a whole new and very different tide challenge
unaccountableaustralian
You deserve more upvotes!
nextgenpants
Probably because it's a very large object moving fast. Ever stand under those giant windmill generators? Fucking unnerving.
mac821
YESSSSSSS LARGE OBJECTS MOVING VERY FAST ARE MY NUMBER ONE IRRATIONAL FEAR. Boat rudders, helicopters, WIND TURBINES, trains, etc.
geographey
I wonder if there's a name for that fear.
DynamicWeight
Magnamotaphobia
geographey
After a quick googling, I found it's called megalophobia.
Techpriest93
Holy shit is that @OP's Mom!?!
tekkblade
That would require significant velocity to maintain its distance.

Wow. I wonder if we would feel it

ElioNope
Fun fact: A hollow steel sphere 1km thick, same diameter of the moon, in the gif's orbit, would exert ~100x more gravity on earth than our--
szepasszony
1 km thick?
REDF0RMANSF00T
Think of it as a kinder egg the size of the moon and the chocolate is 1km thick but there’s still a hollow cavity in the center.
ElioNope
Yes, what's the full question sorry?
szepasszony
I thought that might be a typo
ElioNope
Nah, had to give it some appreciable mass (and armor)
ElioNope
--moon (in its normal position) does currently. It'd have about 0.5% the mass of the moon, but that's still easily death star level shit. --
ElioNope
100x the tidal force! Basically, don't build a moon sized station in LEO.
samsonguy920
Yes, build it in geostationary orbit, instead.
ImgursLibertarian
I'm calling shenanigans. Gravitational force is only a function of distance and mass. 0.5% mass at the same distance is 0.5% force

note "in the gif's orbit" in the comment, also there is an image above that demonstrates the situation, this being an image hosting site.
ElioNope
I am aware of that. I'm referring to this 0.5% mass being ISS distance (ie MUCH closer).
ElioNope
For completeness, I modelled the centre of the sphere as 2070km away (orbit height of ISS + sphere's radius) so its surface meets ISS orbit.

This gives me unnecessary amount of anxiety +1

Watch "Melancholia". Should ease that anxiety right away.

Gives me just the right amount of anxiety +1

That's why we put it farther away

It makes it even worse if you imagine an intense rumbling sound as it goes by. :)

Majora's mask trauma.

Oh dang... That explains
sardonislamir
To this day I regret not finishing that game. After the first time the moon showed, I was like FUCK THIS GAME, not aware it had purpose.
JJI7
Not too late. It is a really good game. Although a PITA to 100%. Also has a lot of creepy stuff if you look hard enough.
OperationRustysBlanket
If you live near a coast you would your anxiety would be very necessary.
Koravel34
I'm pretty sure it wouldn't matter where you lived if it was that close. Entire earth would be covered in water.
Mournclaw
Only one half at a time
Koravel34
Well yeah, but I mean the entire earth would be flooded, not all at the same time maybe, but still. Doesn't matter whether you're coastal.
whooplys
You should watch Melancholia then
RonaldBWeasley
ThatDawg
can you imagine the insane tidal action
Ikeepseeing1111butidontknowwhatitmeans
You mean tide pods action???
rosebudthesled
What? The tide comes in and goes back out. Are you saying you can explain That?
Jomahz
I understood that reference.
AMercer
Surfs up dude.
Nemacol
wait until it is right over head and jump as high as you can.
Poopoopeepeevagina
Tides go in. Tides go out. YOU CANT EXPLAIN THAT!
Moronicsmurf
nothing would be stuck down when it passes over and a constant storm of crap hanging between the two bodies would be in turmoil..
maliciousGman
Like in Bruce Almighty?
thehopelessbonsaii
A quick back of the stamp calculation shows that even when the moon would be at it's closest, so it's gravitational attraction /1
thehopelessbonsaii
would be most prominent, gravity is still 89% of what it is now, and when its far away, negligible change /2
Keru
It'd be pretty short-lived, since the moon would get torn to shreds by the earth at this distance, because Roche Limit. Get a neat ring tho'
5NoteHalf
"Moon's coming up. Everyone hold your HARBLARGARBLARGARBALARRHEAGA... breath."
TheNonInsestuousJaime
This would make a different but just as deadly tide challenge...
Radial
It has its ups and downs.
EarthAnimalArmy
the Tide "height" wouldn't change, just its speed, just cause moon is closer does not mean it gains mass therefore gravity.... um, see 1/?
EarthAnimalArmy
this part, so there would be some increase in height, but not as much as you imply, moon closer means more of the moons gravity we feel 2/
thehopelessbonsaii
F=G.M1.M2/r^2 ... so the force the tides would feel actually change, and the moon does 'gain' gravity
EarthAnimalArmy
does not 'gain' gravity, the observed effect would increase, you would feel it more, i corrected myself in second part
vers1on
Imagine how high we would be able to jump when it was above us.
Grandmastersexsay2
The gravitational force would be (250,000 mi)^2/(250 mi)^2 = 1,000,000 times stronger.
pirateninjaunicornattacksquad
No one could live near any coast.
451Rockhead
Yep when the moon formed it was about that close, tides were insane
Serverdamager
Yeah jeez, I remember those time. Great surf though. Gnarly.
mycatsanarsehole
The ISS is only 400km from earth. The earths diameter is 12800km and the moons is 3400km. Try to picture that and think about it.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
I like how you say this like you were there. Lol. Genuine comment, not trolling.
SpellingEternity
Still not as insane as tide pods.
goosemooose
Pretty sure it would contribute to the heat of the planet at the time too. Just because of the shearing forces of tidal and friction
TurgidMember
What pushed it away?
Andolomar
It's moving too fast and its mass is too high for Earth to contain it. It's ever so slowly escaping our gravity.
Petedoit
The earth couldn't commit. It would never open up and show her it's dark side.
451Rockhead
Actually the tides do, in a gravity tug of war, moon pulls oceans, oceans pull moon, causing it to orbit faster and slowly drift out
451Rockhead
Give another billion years and it should stabilize
ColonelSamanthaCarter
Nothing really pushed it away, it just ever so slowly drifted away. And it's still drifting away to this day.
AlmightyVerb
Yes, orbits aren't always perfect. We should be glad it's drifting away instead of the opposite, real-life Majora's Mask issue there.
kr18
Like all your loveless relationships?
aykyle
Can you blame it? Even us humans want to drift away from this God forsaken planet. Take me with you, moon.
Imhereforthelurking
Decaying orbit. The moon is slowly drifting away, by millimeters every few years. It's still doing it now, and will leave our orbit within a
Imhereforthelurking
A few dozen millennia. Given a few dozen more millennia as a hedge bet.

JPhDaigle
Chuck Norris risked his life and gave it a good kick to save us all
macbi
Not quite that close. The ISS orbits really low because it would cost so much to push it higher.
MValentin
Not because that's the altitude at which it's effective?
macbi
The cost is the main factor. The other factors are air resistance (better high) and radiation (better low). (1/2)
macbi
The main mission is testing thing in vacuum and 0G, for which any orbit would be fine. (2/2)
Th1ng
imagine how bright some nights could be...
nebbulae
If it was that close idt it would be able to reflect any sunlight at night except for a very brief period of time.
Th1ng
guess you are right
wish I could use blender at all to do it moving and in 3d
lmagine
Imagine how dark some days would be
EarthAnimalArmy
think heavy over cast day!, or worse, sometimes it would be unbearably bright
