There are two trillion galaxies in the universe. There will be one or two hundred billion star systems in a galaxy, and there will be many planets in a star system. And Earth is a very young of these planets.
In the vast sea of stars, the earth is the only known planet with life. After 4 billion years of growth, the earth gradually met all the conditions for nurturing life, and in this way, life was born.
As mentioned in the first episode, breathing is the most mundane and important function of life. But this mundane and important function relies on the close cooperation of various systems of nature.
Diatoms die in the sea and settle in the sea. After tens of thousands of years, the seabed receded, and the dust from the bottom was blown into the Amazon Basin, where it became the nourishment for life. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and sprinkles on plants. Plants perform photosynthesis, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Oxygen is reduced to ozone through the baptism of wind, rain and lightning in the atmosphere, and it floats under the stratosphere. Animals can survive by absorbing the oxygen released by plants. Oxygen transports nutrients in the body, and finally converted into carbon dioxide and exhaled as nutrients for plant photosynthesis.
Director Darren led the entire team and spent 3 years on the production, covering 195 locations in 45 countries on 6 continents. His magnificent lens language includes aerial photography of extraterrestrial space stations and cave photography. These blockbuster-level materials are presented to the audience in an artistic narrative way in Darren's hands, explaining the most mundane mysteries in nature for them. Under his lens, the earth looks even more beautiful and great.
In the first episode, the extraterrestrial shooting and the progressive aerial photography brought the audience a sense of diving from far to near. Unexpectedly, one day, I, who is not an astronaut, can also overlook the earth in front of the computer.
As the astronaut said, when looking down at Earth from space, you have to withdraw from the spectacle. The beauty of a trip to space is that it gives a personal feeling that the Earth is one and we are all partners in the same boat.
This planet is made for us, this planet is lit by us.
