Earth’s Oxygen to Plummet by a Million-Fold in 1 Billion Years, NASA-Backed Study Warns

Scientists have discovered Earth faces a dramatic future change that will reshape life as we know it – but not in our lifetime. Recent research from Toho University in Japan, backed by NASA, reveals our planet will lose its oxygen-rich atmosphere in about one billion years. Unlike threats from climate change or asteroid strikes, this oxygen decline stems from a natural, unstoppable process: our aging Sun. “The atmosphere will return to a state similar to before the Great Oxidation Event, which happened about 2.4 billion years ago,” explains Christopher Reinhard, one of the lead researchers on the study published in … Continue reading Earth’s Oxygen to Plummet by a Million-Fold in 1 Billion Years, NASA-Backed Study Warns
