Artists concept showing how the surface of Earth appeared during the Hadean eon
Artists concept showing how the surface of the Earth may have appeared beneath its clouds about 500 million years after its birth, also known as the Hadean eon. Massive volcanoes and lava fields still dominate the landscape. In a few million years rain will begin falling, further cooling the crust. In about another 200 million years the first living microbes will call the Earth home

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Walter Myers takes us back in time to the Hadean eon, showcasing an artist's concept of how Earth's surface might have appeared 500 million years after its birth. The image depicts a primordial landscape dominated by massive volcanoes and expansive lava fields, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the intense heat radiating from the volcanic craters and witness the explosive eruptions that shaped this ancient terrain. The molten magma flows freely, carving intricate rock formations while plumes of smoke and ash fill the sky above. It is fascinating to imagine that in just a few million years after this scene was captured, rain would begin falling on Earth's surface, gradually cooling down the crust. And in another 200 million years or so, life would emerge as microscopic organisms called microbes make our planet their home for the first time. This illustration not only showcases incredible artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of our planet's remarkable history and its ever-evolving nature. It invites us to ponder over Earth's geological past and appreciate how far we have come since those fiery beginnings. With its vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail, this digitally generated image transports us back through time to witness Earth during its most primitive era – an era where volcanic activity reigned supreme and set the stage for life as we know it today.
