Sun super typhoon germinates life on Earth

Solar Super Typhoon continuously bombarded high-energy particles to Earth, warming the surface of the Earth and promoting a chemical reaction that benefits life.

Discovery News reported that scientists found the reason why the Earth warmed enough for water to appear on the surface of the earth, conditions necessary for life to grow.

According to a group of astrophysicists from the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the factor that contributes to the formation of life on Earth is the phenomenon known as the super solar storm , frequent storms with strong intensity, dispersing high-energy particles towards the Earth's newly formed Earth.

The computer model shows that energetic particles coming from the Sun almost daily suppress the Earth's magnetic field and create holes in the polar regions. The particles then pass through the atmosphere, triggering a series of chemical reactions that lead to nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas and hydrogen cyanide, an essential ingredient for life, according to public research. published earlier this week in Nature Geoscience.

The Earth is warm enough for liquid water to flow on the surface 4 billion years ago. The first sign of microbial life that remains on fossil rocks also dates. For decades, scientists have tried to explain the "faint young Sun paradox" , raised by 1972 astronomers Carl Sagan and George Mullen.

"The puzzling issue is why the Earth is not permanently frozen under low-light Sun," said Ramses Ramirez, a scientist at Cornell University in the US.

The new hypothesis is derived from the data collected by the Kepler space telescope for the mission to search for planets orbiting stars similar to the Sun. The light emitted from the stars may temporarily weaken as the planet moves in front of the parent star. But the change may also come from other events such as the solar super typhoon. The solar super typhoon is more than three times the largest fire storm in 1859 named the Carrington event, creating the Arctic Arctic in the southern hemisphere.

"My goal is to calculate the greenhouse warming due to the gas density and determine whether the level is sufficient to compensate for the problem of weakly shining young Sun , " Ramirez said. "Research shows that the early Sun's activity opens up opportunities for microbial life on Earth."
