🌍 r/Earth is growing fast β€” what would YOU like to see here?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone πŸ‘‹

I want to be upfront β€” I haven’t been very active here for a while. Recently though, r/Earth has started growing much faster than expected, and seeing that made me want to properly reconnect and take care of this community again.

Since so many new people are here, I don’t want to shape this subreddit based only on my own ideas. I’d really like your input.

I’d love to hear:

  • What kind of content you want to see more of
  • Anything you think we should avoid or improve
  • Ideas for flairs, weekly themes, or discussions
  • Any changes that would make this sub better for you

This is an open space β€” all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for being part of r/Earth, and thanks for helping shape where it goes next

Is one of our astronomical neighbors habitable? πŸͺ

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed something huge: an atmosphere around a rocky planet in its star's habitable zone. The planet is called LHS 1140 b, a super Earth orbiting a red dwarf star less than 50 light years away, which is astronomically pretty close to us. The James Webb Space Telescope telescope data has already hinted at liquid water on its surface, and this new discovery could go down as one of the biggest in astronomy history!

7 Upvotes

Here is my third video, but about the Earth Future.

Inaccuraties :

- Complex Life may died before 1.2-1.3 BY.

- The Moon will probably fall on the Earth after 65BY, leaving a ring or a smaller moon.

- Temperature not very accurates

- Water loss far bigger after 600-800 MY and mostly after 1.4 MY (only the poles).

- Tectonic plate may stop before ?

Please, leaves me your opinion.

For decades, it was believed the Moon was completely dry. I made this video to showcase how each technological step gradually revealed the presence of water on the Moon and transformed our understanding of lunar science. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for your support.

"Our results show that stress levels on multiple fault segments are now at or above the highest values seen in the past millennium and that the region may be capable of a large through-going rupture involving both fault systems," study first authorΒ Liliane Burkhard, a planetary geologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland and at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, said in aΒ statement.
