What was our planet like just after its birth? How did Earth differ from other rocky planets in the Solar System, and how did the Moon form? Join us for an online talk that will take you 4.5 billion years back in time – to the mysterious first billion years of Earth’s history.
We’ll explore how geologists use cutting-edge methods to uncover when the first rocks formed on Earth’s surface. You’ll discover why zircon, a tiny but powerful mineral, is like a “time capsule” that preserves evidence of ancient oceans, rainfall, and even the earliest signs of life. Stunning photographs of the world’s oldest rocks and minerals will bring this deep past to life on your screen.
This is your chance to see how scientists piece together the story of our planet’s beginnings – from fiery origins to the first traces of life.
Join us online! 🎥 The event will be available here from September 26, 2025, at 5:00 PM → https://youtu.be/DeNnxYhePMQ
