The Moon[]
The moon is Earth's only natural satellite and which formed 4.6 billion years ago around some 30–50 million years after the formation of the solar system. Humans first landed there in 1969.
Philip Burton referenced this when explaining how they were on the brink of great discoveries regarding the Anomaly phenomenon, saying that 'not since man first walked on the Moon has humanity been so delicately poised on the threshold of a New Dawn.' (Episode 4.2)
