Synopsis

Birth of Planet Earth tells the twisted tale of our planet's origins. Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. The film employs advanced, data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet in the wake of our solar system's violent birth? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?

    Bro lost me when he talked PAINFULLY extensively about how photosynthesis was made and how it worked. When I say painfully extensively I mean absolutely excruciatingly intricate details about how photosynthesis came to be 😭

    I've seen better. But for a planetarium documentary, it wasn't bad. The version I watched was ~25 minutes (half of the full runtime). Watched at the Planetarium in the Smithsonian Air + Space Museum.
