Season 32

Origins: Earth is Born surveys the tumultuous first billion years of our planet, a era defined by relentless upheaval. Lush animation offers a vivid glimpse into the catastrophic birth of the Moon, forged in a colossal collision between Earth and a Mars-sized body. The young Earth endures a barrage of meteors and comets, vast volcanic eruptions, and hot acid rain that scorches the surface, painting early Earth as a world unlikely to host life. Yet scientists reveal new clues that life-giving water and oxygen appeared on our planet much earlier than previously believed.
