New experiments suggest Earth's core contains up to 45 oceans' worth of hydrogen

Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure iron, meaning ligh

Scientists have long known that Earth's core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure iron, meaning lighter elements exist in the core, as well. In particular, it's suspected to be a major reservoir of hydrogen. A new study, published in Nature Communications, supports this idea with results suggesting the core contains up to 45 oceans' worth of hydrogen. These results also challenge the idea that most of Earth's water was delivered by comets early on.

The James Webb Space Telescope is helping us look further and further into the universe than we ever did before.

Pictured above, is now confirmed to be the most distant galaxy ever known. MoM-z14, standing for Mirage or Miracle, is emitting light that comes from 280 million years after the Big Bang.

It was discovered that MoM-z14 has more nitrogen than thought to be possible by that time in the universe, suggesting that conditions might have been different from what has been theorized.

Due to the expansion of the universe, it is difficult to find these old galaxies. Their light is being stretched into longer wavelengths, making them appear redder. Following their discoveries, the MoM objects must be followed up with a spectrograph to confirm how much the light has been shifted. This process provides value as to how far away they really are.
