Description:
3.6 billion years ago, a microbe blasts off its home planet propelled by a meteor impact and embarks on a journey through the inner solar system. After spending time on other worlds, it decides home is best and tries to return, only to head in the wrong direction by mistake. Unable to ever return again, it has a one last vision of home and what lies ahead for it. The imagery mimicks the look of electron microscope imagery.
