Earth in the Beginning: An Origin Story
Earth’s formation began 4.54 billion years ago as a molten sphere, resulting from cosmic violence and a series of asteroid impacts. This chaotic period, known as the Hadean Eon, saw heavy elements sink to form the core while lighter materials created the mantle and crust. Intense bombardments delivered essential ingredients for life, including water and organic molecules, ultimately paving the way for habitable conditions.
