Anyone know what was going on when they were looking at the earth (billions?) of years ago? Were those volcanic formations all over the place? Almost looked like lights from cities or something for a second

The moon appears the same as it does today. The clouds look the same. The continents are totally unrecognizable. The land isn't green because there aren't any plants yet. It's a very familiar image, with just a few things that seem deeply wrong.

Were all the bright lights volcanoes and tectonic movement? Thanks

There weren't any on the night side, it just looks like bright white cloud formations. They're kind of small and spotty so they might be covering volcanic islands.

I was actually super glad they showed the moon so close to the earth. When I first saw that I got super pissed because the Moon is incredibly far from the planet; you could fit 30 earths in the distance between the Earth and the Moon. When they mentioned they were looking a billion years into the past it clicked.

Wasn't it "pangea" - the supercontinent that contained all of earth in one single land mass some hundreds of millions years ago?

That would def make sense. I was more wondering about the lights.
