A Recent Study Suggests Earth’s Core May Be Enveloped By An Ancient Ocean Floor Hosting Mountains, 5x Taller Than Mt. Everest. This Find Comes From The Most Detailed Geological Map Of The Southern Hemisphere, Showing A Vast Ultra-Low Velocity Zone, Likely Containing Subducted Oceanic Materials, Influencing Heat Flow & Geological Activities.

Scientists Made A Breakthrough In A 60-Year Quest To Explore Earth’s Depths By Recovering Pieces Of Rocky Mantle From Atlantis Massif In The North Atlantic. Though They Didn’t Reach The Mantle, They Obtained The Deepest Mantle Rock Ever Collected, 4157ft, Providing Valuable Data For, E.g., Understanding Earth’s Composition, & Life’s Origin.

The Antarctic Desert, Categorized As A Cold Desert, Is The World’s Largest Desert Spanning ~ 5.48 Million Square Miles. The Arctic Desert, Also A Cold Desert, Is The Second Largest At ~ 5.37 Million Square Miles. The Sahara Desert, Classified As A Hot And Dry Desert, Is The Largest Non-Polar Desert, Covering ~3.55 Million Square Miles.

Researchers, For The First Time, Detected DNA & RNA Nucleobases In Meteorites That Fell To Earth In The Last 100 Yrs, Using A DNA Extraction Method That’s 100X More Sensitive Than Methods Used Since The 1960s. And The Nucleobases– Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, And Uracil, May Indicate That The Ingredient For Life Came From Space.

The Earth’s Core Is Cooling At A Faster Rate Than Previously Thought. A New Study Estimates A 1.5X Higher Bulk Thermal Conductivity At Core-Mantle Boundary Than The Conventional Value, Which Could Imply A Faster Earth Cooling Process That Could Make The Earth Unhabitable And Tectonically Inactive Millions Or Billions Of Years From Now.

Researchers Have Found The First Direct Evidence Of A Never Before Seen Mineral That Forms In The Mantle. The Mineral, Davemaoite, Is Said To Be A High Pressure-Temperature Form Of Wollastonite, A Commonly Found Mineral. The Davemaoite Was Discovered, Using Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction, In A Botswana Diamond, Which Formed In The mantle.…

Scientists Briefly Created A Rare Diamond To Test Its Hardness. The Stiffness Of The Artificial Hexagonal Diamond, Lonsdaleite, Suggest It Is 58% Stronger Than Diamond, Setting A New Record For The Hardest Known Material. Advances Are Needed To Stabilize The Production Of Lonsdaleite, Also Found In Meteorite Crater Rocks, For Its Uses.

Researchers May Have Discovered A Meteorite Derived From A Planet At Its Early Stage Of Formation. The Meteorite, Named Erg Chech 002 (EC 002), Said To Be Older Than Earth, Was Found In The Sahara Desert. EC 002 Is The “Oldest Known Extra-Terrestrial Lava” On Earth And May Offer Glimpse Of Planetary Formation In The Early Solar System.

Natural Diamond Form From Carbon, ~150 km Deep In The Earth, Under High Temperature And Pressure. And They Take Billion Of Years To Form. And Yes, Synthetic Diamond Have Been Created In Labs Since The 1940s. But Researchers In Australia, In What May Be A First, Were Able To Create Diamond In Minutes Under Room Temperature. Cool!

Scientists Believe That The Ingredients For Life Was Brought To Earth Via Meteorites. Could This Discovery Of The First Protein From Outerspace, Which Scientists Claim To Have Found In Two Meteorite Samples, The Allende Meteorite (Found In Mexico In 1969) And The Acfer 086 Meteorites (Found In Algeria In 1990), Support The Claim?…
