Ancient ocean chemistry may guide search for alien life
Original: Ocean chemistry on ancient Earth could help scientists search for life on alien worlds
New research suggests that the chemistry of Earth's ancient oceans could serve as a template for identifying habitable conditions on other planets. By studying how early marine environments supported the emergence of life, scientists hope to refine which alien worlds are most promising targets in the search for extraterrestrial life, according to reports picked up by Space and Yahoo News.
Why now: Fresh research linking Earth's early oceans to the hunt for life on exoplanets has been picked up by major outlets.
