New findings regarding the connection between the increase of oxygen in the atmosphere and the development of complex life

  • No comments
Hebrew University researchers have revealed new findings regarding the connection between the increase in oxygen in the atmosphere and oceans on Earth, and the development of complex life. The study indicates that the rise of oxygen occurred after the development of complex life, contrary to previous assumptions
The report's authors suggest launching a large telescope to study planets outside the solar system, similar to the one developed by NASA that would use a shadow to block light from a distant star to facilitate the study of planets around that star. NASA/JPL

An artist's illustration of the Kepler 11 solar system featuring a Sun-like star and six planets. Telescopes designed to search for planets are finding more and more worlds with a chance of discovering life, including over 50% of the potential planets in the habitable zone. NASA's chief scientist said that "strong evidence" of extraterrestrial life will be discovered within a few years
