The 1st private Venus probe--part of a planned set of Morning Star Missions--is taking shape in California. It will sample the Venusian clouds to see if they could possibly support life. But for now it's grounded, awaiting the debut of its Neutron rocket. https://t.co/MRIVa2hQfZ 3.6K views · 102 likes · 21 reposts · 4 replies 03 Sep 2026 Happy Carrington Event Day to all who celebrate. On Sept 2-3, 1859, an enormous solar flare hit Earth with the most intense magnetic storm on record.

One idea is that metals + phosphate provided the kick. Bacteria & archaea then developed independent paths to a living cell. Who knows what else didn't make it? https:// 726 views · 16 likes · 1 reposts · 5 replies 21 Aug 2026 Life may have originated more than once on Earth...and today's living cells might have two separate origins.
