The other eight (or nine if you count Charon) play critical roles in supporting life on the third planet.

Why indeed? Still, I have looked at this issue a lot and have come to the conclusion that despite the vastness of the cosmos the Earth is too finely tuned.

Intelligent life seems to require such fine tuning that, if it is by chance alone, not only is the galaxy empty of aliens, but we should not even be here!
