Investigating the Geographical Origins of First Life on Earth

Where did life on Earth start first? Scientists look at deep oceans and volcanoes to find out if we will find life on Mars or other moons.

Scientists are choosing between the deep ocean and land volcanoes for the start of life. This choice tells us if we should look for aliens on Mars or icy moons.

"Jennifer Macalady is a #microbiologist who studies biological interactions between the limited resources that were available on #EarlyEarth: water, atmospheric gases and rocks. Her research takes her to some of the most hostile places for life on Earth, in search of the #microbial #biofilms that can survive there. Her most recent #expedition was to three lakes within Italy's #Frasassi #cave system"

Q&A: Searching for life where it shouldn't exist

A team of Penn State scientists is working to solve one of the world's greatest unsolved mysteries: how life originated on Earth—and how it might have evolved on other planets.

A New Neighbor: Earth-Sized Planet Discovered in “Our Solar Backyard”

"It’s a useful planet because it may be like an early Earth" HD 63433d, a new Earth-sized planet discovered by astronomers, offers a rare glimpse into the early stages of planet evolution, given its close orbit around a young sun-like star. A team of astronomers has discovered a planet closer an

Hiya Mastodon,

Re- #Introduction time! I'm Ash, a stop motion animator of wildlife and paleontologist.

In the last year I moved from Australia to France and to Mastodon from my ex Twitter handle @aela_wild.

With the move I renamed my business to StudioWild. So far it's a better fit :)

Now that I'm set up, I post about natural history and share my mixed media art. I'm looking forward to getting to know my new landscape and all the weird wild animals and places in between.

If you're inclined, my animations live on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@studio_wild

Discovery of functional prebiotic metabolism shows promise for improving carbon-capture technologies

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified the conditions for cell metabolism to emerge on the early Earth, shedding new light on the origins of life itself, along with the fundamental nature of biological carbon fixation.

Researchers defend their theory that molecular oxygen existed on Earth 2.5 billion years ago

When did molecular oxygen, the gas that all large and complex forms of life on Earth today require to function, first appear on Earth?

An 'Extinct' Crystal May Help Explain the Origin of Earth's Oceans

Earth’s water may have seeped up from its depths, as opposed to being delivered by impacts from outer space, according to a new study.

You Can Now Search for Addresses Across 750 Million Years of Earth's History

Ever looked at a picture of the supercontinent Pangea and wondered where your current address would have been 250 million years ago? A new interactive map provides this very service, allowing you to see modern locations across 750 million years of our planet’s history.

This awesome 3D map is the brainchild of Ian Webster, curator of the supremely impressive Dinosaur Database. It defaults to 240 million years ago, during the Early Triassic, a time when life was rebounding from the Permian mass extinction and early dinosaurs began to make an appearance. Back then, our planet was dominated by the giant Pangea supercontinent, and it makes little sense from our current perspective.

To help, Webster overlays the map with modern political boundaries, and you can even search for present-day addresses to pinpoint specific locations.
