The video explores how life could have formed on Earth despite intense solar radiation billions of years ago. It highlights a new theory supported by NASA scientists, who found evidence in moon rocks suggesting that the Moon once had a strong magnetic field. This field, combined with Earth's, might have created a protective magnetosphere, allowing life to evolve.
