What if the moon didn't exist? | Andrealuna Pizzetti | TEDxMirandola

In this talk Andrealuna will start from a question: what would be the fate of our planet if the only natural satellite we have, the Moon, had never existed? Why is the Moon so important for the care of life on earth?

Andrealuna Pizzetti was born in Mirandola and soon became a member of the Astronomical Observatory of Cavezzo, where she learned the first arts of astronomy. After high school, a degree in Biotechnology and a degree in Astronomy at the University of Bologna, she decides to move to the United States to obtain a PhD in physics and astrophysics at Clemson University in South Carolina, ready to finish her last year. In her research, she studies the matter that surrounds supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies, but she loves every celestial object in the universe.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
