A new dating of the Oklahoma crater shifted its age by 100 million years. The asteroid struck 370 million years ago, coinciding with the Late Devonian extinction.

Scientists led by Professor Dongyan Huang have established that Earth's iron core may contain hydrogen equivalent to 9–45 oceans. The discovery, obtained using diamond anvil cells and atomic tomography, revises theories of the origin of water on the planet.

🔴 Martian meteorite NWA 13441 rewrites the history of the Red Planet. Scientists found a rock 1.27 billion years old that filled a huge gap in the geological record. Rare neodymium was found inside, proving the unique stability of Mars' interior. 🚀🪨 #Mars #Science #Space

🌍 Scientists from Caltech have turned the understanding of Earth's chemical history upside down! For a long time, it was believed that 2 billion years ago there was a global shift in the carbon cycle. But new data from samples from Karelia (🇷🇺) shows: anomalies were caused by local contact of magma with rocks, not a planetary cataclysm. The global theory is under threat, the final verdict is up to samples from Gabon. 🔬🧬 #Science #Geology #EarthHistory
