"For 540 million years, the ebb and flow in the strength of Earth's magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released analysis by NASA scientists. The research suggests that processes deep inside the Earth might influence habitability on the planet’s surface.
Earth’s magnetic field arises from the flow of material in the planet’s molten interior, which acts like a giant electromagnet. The flow isn’t perfectly stable, and this causes the field to change over time.
Many scientists have argued that the magnetic field is crucial for protecting the atmosphere from eroded by energetic particles coming from the Sun. But, the authors of the study in Science Advances point out, the role of magnetic fields in preserving the atmosphere is an area of active research. Before addressing the complexity of the cause-and-effect relationship between magnetic fields and oxygen levels, the study authors decided to see whether Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere have fluctuated in ways that demonstrate a link."
"(...) they found that the planetary magnetic field has followed similar rising and falling patterns as oxygen in the atmosphere for nearly a half billion years, dating back to the Cambrian explosion, when complex life on Earth emerged.
“This correlation raises the possibility that both the magnetic field strength and the atmospheric oxygen level are responding to a single underlying process, such as the movement of Earth’s continents,” (...)."

Honestly it really riles me up that people are mean to ocean animals because they are less understood than land animals (yes even dolphins as publically liked as they are) I think everyone should put a little more effort into understanding the ocean and the animals in it and the processes they help. You dont have to like the ocean you just need to understand it and understand that its 3/4ths of our planet's surface and that it's indispensable for life because the second that people stop caring about whats in it and what it does the door opens up for people to not care about what happens to it and how big companies destroy it and continue their needless pollution due to lack of care from the general public
#thunderclap#'who cares if this animal is killed its evil/i dont care about it' your brain is the size of a pea you should work on fixing that#did you know the ocean isnt just the Big Water where the Weird Animals live?#its also the earths main thermoregulator and actually regulates the entire atmosphere including the oxygen we breathe#if this cycle is upset (it is threatened by ocean mining operations; overfishing; and global warming) the whole earth will go kaput#it wont be a 'well the Big Water has no more Weird Animals in it' it will be the planet kaput#and caring about that long term starts by people caring about the animals in it#this has been my ted talk thank u for coming

specbio is so funny to me. if you want your species to be BIG AS FUCK BUGS there is one step.
nose holes
#THIS IS WHAT I DID...#atmosphere too low in oxygen to support large arthropods due to the efficiency issues of spiracles?#just evolve lungs and nostrils! la! problem solved#thats how easy it is to get Big Bug. you just need a diaphragm like muscle to pull the air in#specbio

Posting my part of the Halloween collab
Left is nighttime, and right is daytime
#I feel like not a lot of people outside of the pikship server is going to understand this oc so I’m gonna explain her in the tags#so Saph here is half kyoan#kyoans are based on the concept of (cont cause character limit)#what if a leafling’s four eyes were naturally occurring in a starfolk species#most have two eyes anyways so four eyes are more like a rare desired genetic trait#their other traits include having red slitted eyes that glow like pnf-404 creatures at night(cont)#being roughly twice the height of the average starfolk which is why Saph is so huge compared to most of the characters in the collab(cont)#their tolerance to oxygen is greater than even that of a Koppaite’s#they can handle about half the amount of oxygen of PNF-404’s atmosphere(cont)#and they’re strict carnivores#about the strict carnivore part they developed a hunger for starfolk flesh and blood over time#so they had a history of terrorizing other planets until a group overthrew their government and made starfolk hunting illegal#Saph is among those who’s against starfolk hunting#their one weakness is that they will burn in sunlight#their home planet Kyo revolves around a red star and they built their settlements underground to survive the planet’s aggressive wildlife#so they developed a low sunlight tolerance because of that#pikmin#pikmin oc

My lameass Pikmin theory is that there's nothing evil or sinister going on with PNF-404 - it's just that none of the ships are built for the atmosphere and that's about it.
#no one can breathe oxygen to begin with#maybe the atmospheric entry is far more harsh than what these little guys are used to#assuming theyre all very similar#📡 incoming transmission ��#pikmin

thinking about the space suits. and how i will sooner keel over dead than draw consistently. anyway wouldn’t it be funny if olimar’s suit looked like this
handwriting translations:
HOCOTATE FREIGHT SUIT (with a pinch of salt)
oxygen seeps through :(
nobody knows what these buttons do…
tiny kit
cram those gloves on!!
padding/insulation worn thin
often shifts down
accordian. flexible but plasticky/squeaky
no support for feet
#pikmin#olimar#doodles#“oh does this mean you’re gonna finally settled on a design for the suits?” no. Never.#also re: oxygen seeping through.#olimar definitely gets progressively sicker the longer he sticks around on pnf-404#or any planet with a toxic atmosphere#and he’s just like “oh darn i’m just getting older”#and i’m like no. take hocotate freight to court.#pixelized as hell. we take those tho

another funny thing about Louie- though this could probably just be considered a funny thing about Pikmin 2 in general- is like. it's Louie's second ever mission (according to the intro), and he gets abandoned on The Hell Planet, where Olimar just crashed MAYBE like a month ago and had to fight for his life. and left to his own devices, Louie decides to go "fuck it. i can work with this", and tries to cook and eat every single living thing he comes across. AND he succeeds with most of them, too. man was thriving on this oxygenated hellhole. kind of iconic honestly
#Rambles Into The Void#since im makig this post mostly for my non-pikmin followers: oxygen is poisonous to most of these lil guys!#that's part of why we always see em wearing spacesuits n such#koppaites (which the third game's protagonists are) can tolerate it though at least#though earth's atmosphere is still a little much for them

finally landed on an apocalyptic event idea good enough to base a campaign on. thank fucking god
#a deity dies in the sky and its body collides w earth#the ensuing decomposition releases literal magic into the atmosphere via gas and fluid release#im doing a run of the Quiet Year first to build the world (yes im stealing the mcelroys idea)#the timeline is theres a year until a gas erruption from the main chamber of the body permanently changes the chemical makeup of the planet#on like a molecular level. no more oxygen essentially#or hydrogen ? i need to read up on the decomposition process and also how molecules chain together#hmmm.

they got so so lucky in scavengers reign. like, vesta was just an incredibly human friendly planet in a way that most planets are not. honestly they might as well have landed in a jungle on earth. i mean, i'm glad they didn't because it was super pretty, but still
#let me just drink some water from this running stream... boil the water? what's that do?#let me just touch all this wild flora and fauna... dermal toxicity? what's that?#let me just breathe this nitrogen/ oxygen rich atmosphere without assistance... why wouldn't I be able to?

Reaction Engines Ltd. Skylon Spaceplane Concept
Have you ever seen a poster and thought.
Wait what.
I just did so i googled

Huh. That seems.... not that far? What about...

Okay. Okay that's... still.... but maybe I'm seeing distances wrong let's try what the poster said

.....
Huh. That's. I'm. Wait what is...

Okay so the international space station is roughly 10 times closer to me than the west coast is that's fine this is fine I'm fine what
#space#art#skylon#skylon is a very interesting concept for a spaceplane#it would use a hybrid jet/rocket engine called the SABRE#SABRE would function as an air-breathing jet engine inside the atmosphere#then switch to an internal liquid oxygen supply when the air gets too thin at high altitude#this would allow Skylon to take off and land on runways like a regular jet plane#and not need a special launch pad or disposable booster rocket like other spacecraft#I hope it gets built someday - it would be cool to see it fly

I like how when people travel they tell me about trees. “There were these super cool trees and all I could think was ‘oh you’d love to see these.’” 🖤🖤🖤
#I LOVE trees#opposite of this is someone telling me I’d hate Maine (?) because they’re too many trees#I want to see the proper redwoods someday#but also that requires going to California#but I want to see the sequoias#I’ve seen coast redwoods (really stunning btw)#stood inside one. never felt such a soul shaking experience#half ‘this is wrong’ half ‘this is what it means to be human.’#did you know trees communicate with eachother?#that the worlds largest tree is in Utah and it’s called Pando#Pando’s a giant aspen clone#:)#you know when you’re somewhere and you can just smell all the trees around#it’s like filling yourself with clarity#we weren’t meant to be so separated from nature#I’ll visit other small cities with less tree cover and it just. feels so static#trees <3333#Russian olives are an invasive species that tear down cottonwoods#the Bradford pear is nightmarish#the American chestnut isn’t wholly gone! chestnut blight didn’t kill it off entirely#it is just functionally extinct#salix herbacea is the smallest tree in the world#there was a time with no trees on earth! instead we had fungal sorta pillars#as we slowly developed a more oxygen rich atmosphere plants started growing!#not exactly a tree but ferns reproduce via spores! if it doesn’t reproduce with spores it’s not actually a fern#tropical forests can be coniferous!!!#petrified wood is really cool!!!#a lot of trees don’t really have a more recent common ancestor#instead splitting off on their own. though I’m nigh certain there’s a few big gaps in the tree fossil record#trees grow from the top and not the bottom! angio’s have fruits while gymno don’t! (juniper berries are actually cones ergo its a gymno) r
