Earth’s Atmosphere Is Slowly Escaping Into Space

Take a deep breath . You ’re lucky to be able to . Without a ready to hand blanket of air accelerator to swaddle us all , we ’d be no more than a twinkle in evolution ’s oculus . But that wonderful cover of gasis lento escaping , molecule by molecule , and there ’s not much we can do about it .

As MinuteEarth explains , the process is very slow , and chance are we ’ll be long move before its ever complete . But someday , our down - green wonderland will plausibly be just another barren tilt like its neighbour , Mars . So savour this whole life thing while it lasts . Happy Friday ! [ MinuteEarth ]
