Solar storms could’ve helped create life on earth


NASA scientists think that solar storms 4 billion years ago may have helped create life on earth. They think it warmed the earth, and made the right conditions for life to form on the planet. This was found by a new study team called the Kepler Mission. They discovered sun-like stars that released enormous explosion in space called “ superflares” at about 10 times away. They noticed that these happen almost once a century. With this information, NASA made a timeline putting the stars in order by their age.

As I read this article, I thought this is very important. I thought it should be known more. I find it fascinating that theories change every day. I really enjoy hearing stories like these.
