The story of Earth’s atmospheric oxygenation is one of transformation, shaped by both biological and planetary forces. While scientists have long debated the causes behind the stepwise rise of oxygen, ...

The intricate layers in the formation represent a turning point in Earth's history known as the Great Oxygenation Event. From this start, a further two billion years of oxygenation enabled a rapid ...

Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth's rotation has been gradually slowing down, and its days have gotten progressively longer as a result.

The study suggests that by increasing the day length — and, therefore, sun exposure — the moon may have triggered great oxygenation events that led to life's diversification. However ...
