A single cinematic wide composition showing a smooth progression of 5 stages of lunar settlement development across one continuous landscape on the Moon. The image is structured as a left-to-right (or foreground-to-background) evolutionary timeline. Stage 1: Primitive small outpost — tiny temporary shelters, basic modules, tents-like habitats, minimal equipment, scattered tools, harsh empty lunar terrain. Stage 2: Early structured base — compact modular habitats, connected corridors, small energy units, solar panels, simple scientific instruments, slightly organized layout. Stage 3: Expanding settlement — multiple connected modules, small industrial systems, research labs, oxygen generators, mining equipment, visible infrastructure growth. Stage 4: Advanced colony — dense network of modern lunar buildings, industrial facilities, transport systems, larger habitation blocks, glowing lights, coordinated urban planning. Stage 5: Final stage — a massive advanced futuristic city inside a giant transparent dome, a fully developed lunar metropolis with towering megastructures, complex industrial systems, life-support infrastructure, glowing internal city lights, and complete environmental control. The transitions between stages should feel seamless and gradual, as if the lunar civilization is evolving naturally across space. The Moon surface remains consistent throughout, with increasing density of construction and technology.
