Genesis

:00:25

Somewhere in the universe

:00:26

it is always
the morning of creation.

:00:49

All matter of earth-
every particle of our bodies-

:00:53

has existed before
in other suns and times

:00:56

distant beyond all our powers
to imagine.

:01:01

We were of the primordial matter

:01:03

formed in the violent creation
of the universe

:01:05

nearly 20 billion years ago.

:01:08

Our matter burned in
the refineries of a great star

:01:12

and was flung again
into the void

:01:14

in a supernova explosion.

:01:36

From the debris of the supernova

:01:38

gravity begins
to shape a solar system.

:01:50

Gas and dust coalesce.

:01:53

Shadow planets form

:01:55

sweeping up
vast quantities of matter

:01:58

as they carve orbits
through the solar nebula.
