Nature Timespiral

Nature Timespiral is a summary of notable events from the Big Bang to the present day by Pablo Carlos Budassi. The infographic spans 13.7 billion years, each billion being represented by a 90 degree angle on the spiral.

The history of nature from the Big Bang to the present day shown graphically in a spiral with notable events annotated. Every billion years (GA) is represented by 90 degrees of rotation of the spiral. The last 500 million years are represented in a 90-degree stretch for more detail on our recent history. Some of the events depicted are the emergence of cosmic structures (stars, galaxies, planets, clusters, and other structures), the emergence of the solar systems, the Earth and the Moon, important geological events (gases in the atmosphere, great orogenies, glacial periods, etc.), emergence and evolution of hominid species and important events in human evolution.
