Seeing Early Earth from the Moon

Seeing Early Earth From The Moon

The differences between Then and Now.

4.6 billion years ago, the Earth was a very, very different place. It had no atomoshphere or water to sustain life. Earth was a young still molten covered planet, whose one and only moon had just barely formed. There were no oceans or mountians, no continents or anyother geographical feature we can see on our planet now-a-days.

The Oasis of the Solar system?

At that stage of the Earth's development, it was most certainly not the most hospitible planet in our solar system. Far from it, in fact. That is, unless you like living in a world with no atmosphere or water and is covered in molten lava...

From my spot on the Moon...

I can see the Earth like no one else has before. The young planet is flowing with oceans of endless lava unobscured by any clouds or atmosphere. If you were standing on the Earth right now--that is, if you didn't disentergrate first from the immense heat-- you would look up at an unusual sky. It would not be blue, seeing as there would be o atmosphere to create the blue illusion. The sky would most likely be what the night sky looks like-- black and dotted with far away stars and planets. It is a beautfil sight, but it is a deadly beauty. Nothing can live there, but this is only temporary. Earth's new moon will soon balance out its system, and all the criteria for sustaible life will be set up. All thanks to the planet Theia impacting with our planet so many eons ago...
