Earth’s steady temperature previous suggests different planets may additionally maintain life
Analysis about temperatures on the early Earth have ranged from a nearly ice-covered floor to a extremely popular planet that might not assist most of as we speak’s lifeforms. New pc simulations present pretty average common temperatures and extra steady … Continue reading
Mushy tissue fossil clues might assist seek for historical life on Earth and different planets
Fossils that protect whole organisms (together with each laborious and comfortable physique components) are important to our understanding of evolution and historical life on Earth. Nevertheless, these distinctive deposits are extraordinarily uncommon. New analysis means that the mineralogy of the … Continue reading

One of planet’s largest volcanic eruptions
Researchers have determined that the Pacific Northwest was home to one of the Earth’s largest known volcanic eruptions, a millennia-long spewing of sulfuric gas that blocked out the sun and cooled the planet. Only two other eruptions — the basalt … Continue reading

Planetary science: A nickel for your planet’s thoughts
Nature Geoscience 10, 249 (2017). doi:10.1038/ngeo2909 Author: Paolo A. Sossi Variability of iron isotopes among planetary bodies may reflect their accretion or differentiation histories. Experiments suggest nickel may be the ingredient controlling iron isotope signatures, supporting fractionation during core formation. … Continue reading
