Birth of Planet Earth | School Workshop

How did Earth become a living planet?

Scientists predict that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. Yet why, in our search for exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) have we yet to find one like the Earth? Drawing on current scientific ideas, supercomputer models and state-of-the-art visuals, this spectacular 360° film attempts to answer such ponderous questions. Students also get to handle the oldest object they will ever touch - a 4,600 million year-old meteorite - an unchanged relic dating back to the birth of the Solar System.
