Artists concept of an Earth buried by layers of cities built by generations of our
Artists concept of an Earth buried by layers of cities built by a hundred million generations of our descendants. The Earth as it may appear 500 million years from now. By this time the Sun will have grown considerably hotter due to its natural evolution as a type G5V star, making the Earth a hotter place as well.
While it is unlikely that beings that look or think anything like us would still populate the Earth 500 million years from now (humans would have evolved on to other forms; evidence 500 million years ago the most highly evolved life forms on the Earth were fish), if we were still here in our present form, we would likely find the Earth very inhospitable

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an artist's concept of a future Earth, buried under layers of cities constructed by countless generations of our descendants. A vision set 500 million years from now, when the Sun has evolved into a type G5V star and intensified its heat, transforming our planet into a much hotter place. While it is improbable that beings resembling us would still inhabit this Earth in half a billion years (as humans would have evolved into other forms), if we were to persist in our present state, we would find the environment incredibly inhospitable. This artwork serves as a reminder of the ever-changing nature of life on Earth and the potential consequences of natural evolution. The image showcases an expansive skyline filled with towering skyscrapers and futuristic architecture against a backdrop of vibrant skies. It evokes feelings of awe and wonder at the immense scale and complexity achieved through colonization and urbanization over millions of years. The absence of people emphasizes how time can reshape civilizations while leaving behind remnants for future generations to discover. Walter Myers' digitally generated masterpiece invites contemplation about humanity's impact on our planet's destiny, urging us to consider how our actions today may shape the course for those who follow in our footsteps.
