<video:description>Ice a mile thick carved this desert canyon. It is in the dry northwest of Namibia. But its floor is covered in long, straight scratches, all pointing the same way. Stones frozen into the bottom of a glacier made them. So how did a mile of ice get to Africa?</video:description>

<video:description>A small cell moves inside a bigger one and stays. Picture a lodger that starts supplying power to the house. Its descendants are mitochondria (my-toe-kon-dree-uh), the tiny energy-making parts inside your cells.</video:description>

<video:description>Picture a basketball with an orange beside it. In one model of the young Earth, our Moon once had a companion about a third as wide. The orange is about to meet the basketball.</video:description>

<video:description>A tide rolls around Earth, but the waves glow. This sea is melted rock. Above it hangs the new Moon, much closer than the Moon you see tonight.</video:description>

<video:description>Set a grapefruit beside a basketball. That is the chapter's rough picture of Theia beside young Earth. Now imagine them crashing together. Rock melts, and glowing scraps fly into space.</video:description>

<video:thumbnail_loc>https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5fKtS_CH3aM/hqdefault.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc>
<video:description>Jupiter plows through dust where small worlds are trying to grow. Pebbles scatter. In a model called the Grand Tack, the giant heads toward the Sun and then turns back, like a sailing ship changing course.</video:description>
