Artwork of the primordial Earth
An animation of the primitive Earth in the process of formation. We view the newborn world from its troubled surface a sea of lava dotted with volcanoes spewing more lava, ash and smoke into the atmosphere. Lightning is common, and meteorites fall frequently, illuminating the black, lifeless, surface rocks

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork takes us back in time to witness the birth of our planet, the primordial Earth. The animation portrays a tumultuous scene where chaos reigns supreme. From the troubled surface of this newborn world, we are greeted with an awe-inspiring sight - a vast sea of molten lava stretching as far as the eye can see. Volcanoes dotting the landscape erupt violently, spewing forth more lava, ash, and smoke into the atmosphere. Lightning crackles across the sky, illuminating this black and lifeless terrain. Meteorites rain down from above, their fiery descent creating mesmerizing streaks of light against the darkness. In this prehistoric era captured by artistry and imagination, we witness nature's raw power at its most intense. It is a reminder that our planet's formation was not a gentle process but one filled with immense energy and cataclysmic events. As we gaze upon this illustration created by Science Photo Library, we cannot help but feel humbled by our place in history. It serves as a testament to how far we have come since those early days when life seemed impossible on such an inhospitable world. Let this artwork transport you to a time long gone but forever imprinted in our planet's ancient memory – when Earth was still finding its footing amidst volcanic eruptions and meteor showers; when it was just beginning its journey towards becoming home to countless forms of life.
