How Earths Are Made

The Spot through Mercury

Our Earth is neither the first nor will be the last one in this solar system. A start under Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, then Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Titan, Triton, Mars, and Earth. Venus and Mercury are read as prior remnants — lids that already finished.

These films are for a general audience. They walk the sequence. They do not argue what would take it off the table. This is a hypothesis, not a proof.

Five minutes, silent — the morph, then each face from the Sequence pages

Five minutes, spoken — the same picture, with narration

Ten minutes, silent — what missions show, and how this site reads it

Shorter silent films

The morph is one globe changing. Radii follow published values, with Earth as the scale. Jupiter is large, but not eleven Earths across; that disk would not fit. Io is the sulfur crust Galileo saw: yellow plains, white frost, black paterae.

The film of each face holds the same order, world by world. The overview looks down on the solar system. Distances and periods are the real ones. Disks are enlarged so every proto-world can be read.

The sequence as a morph — one globe, published radii, Earth as the scale

The sequence as a film — each face in turn

The solar system from above — true periods and AU, worlds enlarged to read

Mars to Earth, spoken — same land, ocean expansion, a finished core and mantle
