On faster spinning planets, life could be hiding out under the atmosphere
Astrobiologists search for molecular oxygen as an indicator of life on other planets, but finding them isn't that straightforward
Earth's oxygen is projected to run out in a billion years
As the Sun ages, Earth's processes will change
Marine archaea make oxygen in the dark using nitrite
Meet Nitrosopumilus maritimus, which is capable of a never-before-seen oxygen synthesis method
