Planet earth at the beginning

Birth of Planet Earth

In the fiery beginnings of our young solar system, worlds are born and obliterated. Gas giants stir chaos. And a young sun vents its rage. How did Earth survive against all odds?

This eye-opening fulldome documentary tracks the perilous path our planet took in its early years through advanced, data-driven, cinema-quality CGI.

It explores some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?

Open Captioning is available for this program upon request.

After the show, a live show presenter takes you on a tour of the current night sky, including tips for locating the planets, how to find constellations, and ancient myths about the stars.
