You Are Here

As rich and life-supporting as the Earth is today, it was once nothing more than a column of dust, dancing inside a scorched cyclone of stellar gas. And just how we as humans managed to emerge from this ancient dust makes up the topic of this video. So join us, as we wind the cosmic clock backwards almost five billion years, from you and I today, all the way back to the birth of the solar System, back to when Earth was nothing more than a burning, barren wasteland.
