Archean stromatolites - Illustration showing the shores of an ancient sea 3 billion years ago. In the foreground, stromatolites, aggregation of sediments and cyanobacteries. Stromatoliths have undoubtedly contributed to our dioxygen-rich atmosphere and the ozone layer that allowed the development of a more complex terrestrial and oceanic life. Dome - shaped stromatolites, averaging three feet high and four feet wide, populate the shallow shore of an ancient sea 3 billion years ago. The Moon looms near the horizon, much closer to the Earth than it is now and therefore appearing considerably larger, but otherwise looking much like the moon we know today. 3 billion years ago the first macro evidence of life on Earth may have appeared in the form of large aggregations of microorganisms and associated sediments known as stromatolites. Cyanobacteria (AKA blue - green algae) were likely one of the primary contributors to these aggregations. During the Archean Eon the Earth's atmosphere contained very little oxygen. Cyanobacteria would have thrived during this time as they employ photosynthesis to combine water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to create their food, while the byproducts of this process are oxygen and calcium carbonate. Billions of years of photosynthetic processes by cyanobacteria other living organisms are likely the primary source of the oxygen we breathe. They also provided the oxygen that forms the protective ozone layer, filtering the shorter wavelengths of ultraviolet light from the Sun that are harmful to most forms of life. Varieties of stromatolites still flourish to this day with well - known formations in parts of Australia, Brazil, and the Bahamas

Impact on the Moon seen from primitive Earth - Asteroid Impact on the Moon seen from primitive Earth: An asteroid hits the Moon forming one of the largest impact crateres of the solar system, the Aitken Basin, at the southern pole of the Moon (2500 km in diameter, 13 km in depth). The date of this impact is uncertain, probably just over three billion years ago. On Earth, the first algae grow - An asteroid impact, perhaps the largest endured by the moon since the little splat, created the South Pole Aitkens Basin, one of the largest impact structures in the solar system. The date of the impact is uncertain: it might have occurred only a little over 3 billion years ago. If so, from the earth - where primitive algae would have been the only witness - the impact would have been an impressive sight

The First Life Forms on Earth - Eoarchean Earth - 3.8 billion years ago, 770 million years after the formation of the Earth, the first life forms appeared as a unicellular organism. Bacteries and archeobacteries (archaea) began to populate the Earth's surface while the atmosphere was still filled with volcanic gases and probably without oxygen. In this illustration, these micro-organisms came out of the ocean to attach themselves to the rock remains of a caldera, bringing colour to this monochrome landscape. 770 million years after the formation of the Earth - - 3.8 billion years ago - - the first life may have appeared in the form of simple, single - celled organisms. Bacteria and archaea may have even found a way to populate the otherwise sterile and inhospitable surface. The atmosphere would likely have consisted solely of gases vented by volcanoes: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen, methane, hydrogen, methane, ammonia, and water vapor. In this image, a variety of single - celled organisms have ventured out of the ocean and onto the rocky remains of two volcanic calderas, adding color to an otherwise bleak and monochromatic landscape. While the lack of breathable oxygen would be anathema to complex life forms like ourselves, this primitive atmosphere was a rich source of sustenance for these terrestrial vanguards
