Young Earth, artwork
Young Earth. Computer artwork showing the young Earth shrouded in turbulent clouds, while flashes of lightning and the glow of volcanoes and lava fields can be seen illuminating the clouds from beneath. The space around the Earth contains remnants of the nebula from which the Solar System was born. On the upper right is the Moon whose lava-filled scars from massive impacts are still cooling. 500 million years after its molten birth the Earths surface would have cooled enough for a solid crust to form

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning artwork titled "Young Earth" captures the awe-inspiring beauty and tumultuous nature of our planet's early days. The image portrays a young Earth enveloped in turbulent clouds, illuminated by flashes of lightning and the fiery glow of volcanoes and lava fields beneath. Surrounding our world are remnants of the nebula from which our entire Solar System was born, reminding us of the vast cosmic origins that shaped our existence. In the upper right corner, we see our celestial companion, the Moon, bearing visible scars from massive impacts during its formation. These lunar scars serve as a reminder of the violent forces that once dominated both Earth and its satellite. The artwork transports us back 500 million years into prehistoric times when Earth's molten surface began to cool, allowing for the formation of a solid crust. It invites contemplation on how life may have emerged amidst such extreme conditions. This illustration not only showcases scientific accuracy but also serves as a testament to human creativity in capturing natural history through art. It is an invitation to explore and appreciate our planet's fascinating journey from its fiery beginnings to becoming a cradle for life as we know it today.
