‘Great Oxidation Event’ Started 100-Million-Years Earlier Than Previously Thought
The Great Oxygenation Event, which holds the first appearance of dioxygen (O2), started some 100 million years earlier than it is previously believed to be. According to a new study, the inhalation of oxygen that enabled the materialization of complex life on Earth kicked off approximately 100 million years before the proposed timeline, suggested by […]
Don’t Just Get Enlivened about Proxima B’s Habitable Zone; It Is Obstructive to Life, NASA Confirms
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has advised space enthusiasts not to be so excited regarding the habitable zone of the newly discovered Earth-sized planet “Proxima b’ because the planet is less likely supportive of life. NASA, in its recently published statement, has confirmed that, despite having an inhabitable zone, Proxima b isn’t favorable […]
