Could the Milky Way have shaped Earth's continents? Zircon crystals hold clues
Scientists are investigating whether the Solar System's journey through the Milky Way's spiral arms could have indirectly influenced the formation of Earth's continents over millions of years. Clues come from analyses of zircon crystals — the oldest minerals that preserve a record of ancient crustal changes. The research represents a new interdisciplinary direction linking astrophysics with geology.
