Researchers believe lightning could have literally sparked life on Earth

Researchers believe lightning could have literally sparked life on Earth
Shane McGlaun - Mar 17, 2021, 8:08am CDT
A new study conducted by researchers at Yale and the University of Leeds suggests that lightning could have unlocked the phosphorus necessary for creating biomolecules that eventually led to life on Earth. The lead author of the paper, Benjamin Hess, says that the team’s work helps understand how life could’ve formed on Earth and how it might form on other planets similar to Earth.
Hess’ team believes that the whole process starts with phosphorus. Researchers say phosphorus is a crucial ingredient necessary for the formation of life, but billions of years ago, it wasn’t easily accessible on Earth. Phosphorus is typically locked inside insoluble minerals on the Earth’s surface. ....

Life on Earth kick-started by 'a quintillion lightning strikes', new study claims

Phosphorus minerals arising from lightning strikes eventually exceeded the amount from meteorites by about 3.5 billion years ago, roughly the age of the earliest-known fossils widely accepted to be those of microbes, they found.
“Lightning strikes, therefore, may have been a significant part of the emergence of life on Earth,” said Benjamin Hess, a Yale University graduate student in earth and planetary sciences and lead author of the study.
“Unlike meteorite impacts which decrease exponentially through time, lightning strikes can occur at a sustained rate over a planet’s history. This means that lightning strikes also may be a very important mechanism for providing the phosphorus needed for the emergence of life on other Earth-like planets after meteorite impacts have become rare,” Hess added. ....

It's Alive!: Lightning Played an Important Role in Creating Life on Earth

However, University of Leeds researchers have discovered that lightning strikes were almost as important as meteorites in fulfilling this crucial role and causing life to emerge.
They claim that if the atmospheric conditions are correct, life might evolve on Earth-like planets by the same process at any time. Benjamin Hess led the study during his undergraduate studies in the School of Earth and Atmosphere at the University of Leeds.
Mr. Hess and his teachers were gazing at a huge and pure sample of fulgurite, a rock produced as lightning hits the earth. The sample was created when lightning struck a property in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, in 2016 and was donated to Wheaton College s geology department. ....

did potentially help life form on Earth.
A new study has found that lightning strikes played a key role in life’s origins on the planet humans call home.
Published on Science Daily, the study was conducted by researchers at the University of Leeds as they were studying fulgurite samples, a type of rock that’s created when lightning hits the ground. What was exceptional about the fulgurite sample that these researchers were taking a look at, though, was that it contained a significant amount of a phosphorous-based mineral called schreibersite. ....
