Far from damaging us, solar storms may have warmed the young Earth enough to house life as well as provided the chemical building blocks to create it. VIDEO A faint young Sun and how violent storms may have actually helped us, as explained by NASA Goddard Known as the faint ..>> view originalA rallying call for microbiome science national data management in US
