My first video from space! Looking at the Earth through the window of Dragon Resilience. The scale of detail and sensory inputs made this a breathtaking perspective!
@wynnieII@BlkinGeoscience Early after formation when there was a global magma ocean there could have been a significant atmo. Also transient atmos from 3.8 - 1 Gyr ago from volcanism. Big questions are how these atmos formed and how were volatiles transported to PSRs
@eleniravanis@BlkinGeoscience Yes mainly from sublimation of surface ices, possibly some interior outgassing as well. (not sure how well known though) CH4 escapes somewhat significantly so if there is not a replenshing source eventually the CH4 ice will diminish.
@BlkinGeoscience planetary scientist Dr. Claudia Alexander was an inspiration for me. Project Manager and Project Scientist roles for missions like Galileo, Rosetta and many other roles
@eleniravanis@BlkinGeoscience Thanks. Pluto's atmosphere has a microbar level atmosphere composed of N2, CH4, H2 and minor hydrocarbs. The atmo was still there when NH visited :-). But it's expected to condense as Pluto continues to aphelion.
