To understand how the Earth formed, you might want to start with thinking about your breakfast.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has shared the initial images captured by astronauts aboard the Artemis II Orion capsule as they

Earth is full. In fact, its sustainable carrying capacity was overshot decades ago. That's the central message from a new scientific study finding that humans have pushed the planet far beyond its long-term limits.

Exactly when and how plate tectonics started, however, is a matter of debate. Now, in a study published March 19 in the journal Science, rock samples from Western Australia hint that the Earth’s crust may have been moving as early as 3.48 billion years ago, roughly one billion years after our planet formed.

The planet is almost 25,000 miles around and 4.54 billion years old, and humans are still discovering some of the amazing secrets it's hiding.
