simply as Earth, the planet we call home. And what a planet it is.
Formed around 4.6 billion years ago from the debris of the big bang
and long-dead stars, at first it was nothing special, but somehow
it evolved to become the most amazing place in the known Universe.
The only living planet we know of, it also has a very unusual moon,
a remarkably dynamic surface, a complex atmosphere and a deeply
mysterious interior. This is Planet Earth is dedicated to the
wonders of Planet Earth. Its past is long and dramatic and its
future shrouded in mystery. Yet despite centuries of research, only
now are we starting to understand Earth's complexity. ABOUT THE
