Emergence of living conditions on Earth

The first living things are believed to have originated from water, but the question of how water formed here when the earth was formed four billion years ago. Now, thanks to careful research, it is clear that there is always water in the depths of the earth, but until a few decades ago, some in-depth astronauts and Earth explorers suggested that Earth’s water came from the collision of various universes. Asteroids, meteorites or comets. Only later, analysis of meteorites and groundwater reveals that their proportions of isotopes, i.e., atomic nuclei with the same chemical properties, do not match. The discovery of the formation of water in the depths of the earth and elsewhere in space was made by the editor of the astronomical portal “starspace.lv” and the editor of the Latvian Astronomical Society.
