Summary
| DescriptionNASA-EarlyEarth-PaleOrangeDot-20190802.jpg |
English: When haze built up in the——atmosphere of Archean Earth, "the young planet might have looked like this artist's interpretation - a pale orange dot." A team led by, Goddard scientists thinks the "haze was self-limiting," cooling the surface by about 36 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Kelvins) – not enough——to cause runaway glaciation. The team’s modeling suggests that atmospheric haze might be, "helpful for identifying earthlike exoplanets that could be habitable." |
