Saw this the other day and was absolutely fascinated by the thought of it - What would the night sky look like if the planets were the same distance as the Moon?

Yeah. The scale stuff is always cool.

We wouldn't be a planet.

I like the last quote though. Considering the Moon does affect our moods and mindsets and such, having a large planet like Jupiter next door would probably make us considerably different people.

Having Jupiter as a roommate would make us considerably less alive.

Dalyn, I just realized your original posts are actually links to what you were referencing. I didn't know what you were talking about, and didn't want to look like a big dumb dumb in the Science thread. Which is now making me look like a bigger dumb dumb. I shall read/watch those links after work! (Didn't even know who this "TED" guy was.)

If it was the same distance as the moon, then yes. If we were just a satellite orbiting Jupiter at a safe distance, maybe not.
