:01:01
We were of the primordial matter
:01:03
formed in the violent creation
of the universe
:01:05
nearly 20 billion years ago.
:01:08
Our matter burned in
the refineries of a great star
:01:12
and was flung again
into the void
:01:14
in a supernova explosion.
:01:36
From the debris of the supernova
:01:38
gravity begins
to shape a solar system.
:01:50
Gas and dust coalesce.
:01:53
Shadow planets form
:01:55
sweeping up
vast quantities of matter
:01:58
as they carve orbits
through the solar nebula.
:02:08
Then, at the center
:02:11
the mighty engines of the sun
flare and ignite.
:02:25
Through
four and a half billion years.
:02:28
an Earth evolved to which
no human eyes were witness.
:02:34
The molten earth
crusted and cooled.
:02:42
Volcanoes discharged
the gases and waters
:02:45
which would film
the planet's surface.
:02:52
Continents emerged
from primeval seas.
