Tidal Moon
"Tidal Moon" is a science fiction short story by Stanley G. Weinbaum and Helen Weinbaum that first appeared in the December 1938 issue of ''Thrilling Wonder Stories'' and was reprinted in the collection ''Interplanetary Odysseys'' (2006). Sam Moskowitz stated that Stanley G. Weinbaum completed only a page and a half of the story before his death, and that his sister Helen Weinbaum completed the story on her own.〔In the introduction to ''A Martian Odyssey and Other Science Fiction Tales'', introduction by Sam Moskowitz, Hyperion, 1974, ISBN 0-88355-152-7.〕 "Tidal Moon" is the only story by Weinbaum to take place on Ganymede.
==Weinbaum's Ganymede==
In Weinbaum's Solar System, Jupiter radiates enough heat to create Earthlike environments on the Galilean moons. Ganymede, the third Galilean satellite, has a subarctic climate, large bodies of water, and a six-month rotation period. Due to Jupiter's tidal pull, every spot on Ganymede's surface is inundated with water every three months except a small area of the south pole where the human settlement of Hydropole is located. The Ganymedian natives, the Nympus, grow a mosslike plant called cree which is ordinarily red, but which turns blue when exposed to the ammonia in Ganymede's atmosphere. The blue moss is collected by human traders in the employ of Cree, Inc. who travel among the native villages on an aquatic riding animal called a hipp (short for ''Hippocampus catamiti''); it is then shipped to Earth to produce crephine, a combined anesthetic and medicine. Other Ganymedian life-forms include the whale-like Gamma Rorqual, the tentacled land leet, and the four-winged Blanket Bat.
