Scientists analyzed iron-rich sedimentary rocks and estimated the amount of oxygen present in the atmosphere when those rocks formed, finding low levels of oxygen and giving insight into a potential biosignature for life beyond Earth.
Today @cosmicsavannah discus about how to recreate the formation of galaxies inside a supercomputer with Dr. Rob Yates as he explains how he uses semi-analytic simulations to try and understand how various elements are created and dispersed around galaxies.
