A Primitive Solar Atmosphere Around The Young Earth?
Illuminating Earth’S Enigmatic Neon Originsfor Decades, The Question Of Earth’S Primordial Atmosphere, Particularly Its Rich Hydrogen And Helium Content, Has Perplexed Scientists. Some Speculate It Might Have Been Captured From The Proto-Planetary Disc, While Others Suggest Degassing From A Mantle Containing Solar Wind. However, Conclusive Evidence Has Remained Elusive. Funded By The European Research Council, The Apate Project Will Use Cutting-Edge Experiments And Simulations To Investigate Isotopic Fractionation During Magma Bubble Formation, Calculate Neon Incorporation Into The Early Magma Ocean, And Examine Solar Wind Irradiation Effects. Apate Seeks To Hold The Key To Unveiling Earth~S Atmospheric History And The Origins Of Vital Solar Volatiles, Unlocking The Secrets Of Our Planet~S Distant Past.
