This week on Saltwater Stories, we trace the epic origin story of Earth’s water, from a molten world of fire and chaos to the shimmering blue planet we call home. The journey begins not in the ocean, but in the violent birth of our solar system, when Earth was a glowing sea of magma and space itself delivered both destruction and possibility.

Along the way, we meet obsessed astronomers, wandering asteroids, ancient diamonds, and hidden oceans locked deep inside the planet’s mantle. We uncover how rain once fell for thousands of years without stopping, how life itself transformed the seas from green to blue, and why our planet was lucky enough to keep its water while worlds like Mars and Venus lost theirs.

This episode reveals that the water in your glass today is older than dinosaurs, older than oceans, older than Earth’s surface itself. It is a traveler from fire, space, stone, and time. And knowing that story changes how we understand every single drop.

A story of science, chance, and wonder that reshapes how we see our world and our responsibility to protect it.
