In March, James Dinneen accompanied Emil Ruff, a microbial ecologist, and his team on an expedition down a mine, to one of the deepest places that humans have ever visited—looking for what they called dark oxygen. Scientists used to think that life-sustaining oxygen could be found only near Earth’s surface, but in the past few years small quantities of free oxygen have been detected deep underground. Ruff’s team hoped to collect new samples of ancient water in the mine, suspecting that oxygen was playing an unrecognized role in powering underground life. If dark oxygen keeps turning up in unlikely places, that “probably means that the deep biosphere is more extensive than we thought previously, and has even more cells than we thought,” Devan Nisson, a NASA geobiologist, said.

Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue is home to a number of long-standing Middle Eastern pastry and grocery shops, many of which were established in the early- and mid-20th century. Among them are Oriental Pastry & Grocery and Damascus Bread & Pastry Shop, which sit across from each other on the same block. Ghiath Moustapha, who goes by Gary, has owned and operated Oriental since 1967, while Tony Sadek has been running Damascus since 1997. We spent time with both store owners as they shared what it’s been like to work at their stores for many decades and witness the transformation of their neighborhood.
