In Homer's "Odyssey," the soothsayer Teiresias predicts that the Cyclops Polyphemus would be blinded by Odysseus. This prophecy comes true when Odysseus and his men blind Polyphemus in order to escape from his cave. As a result, Polyphemus calls upon his father, Poseidon, to seek revenge on Odysseus, which leads to further challenges for Odysseus on his journey home.

What will happen on your planet if the moon blows to half?

Free cheese for everybody. Seriously, this is not something that could reasonably happen, and it's essentially impossible to predict what might happen if something that can't happen did happen, because we'd have to more or less throw out all the laws of physics that allow us to predict what would happen to get the thing that can't happen to happen.
